Capote Quote by Philip Seymour Hoffman

“There's things that you don't want to do and they keep haunting you and following you. Bennett Miller directed this project [Capote], who is a friend of mine since I was 16, and Danny Futterman wrote it, and he's also been a friend of mine since I was 16.” quote by Philip Seymour Hoffman — Download Open image
