Sir Anthony Hopkins
Sir Anthony Hopkins

Oprah has always wanted to interview Sir Anthony Hopkins. His incredible performances put him in a league all his own. From his heart attack in Meet Joe Black to his disturbing portrayal of Hannibal Lector in Silence of the Lambs, some of his roles are so convincing, Oprah admits she's often worried about Sir Hopkins.

Oprah: When you take on the energy of that character, you do it so well. I wonder, how are you able to just release that and then go on with your life?

Anthony: I guess it does affect me! ... I think it does get into your nervous system because the body doesn't know what's happening.

Oprah: That's exactly what I thought!
