Sir Anthony Hopkins doesn't care if he never works again.

The 71-year-old actor is convinced he has "done everything", and wouldn't mind if he was never offered another role.

The 'Silence of the Lambs' star said: "I was speaking to a friend yesterday and I said, 'Quite honestly, I've done everything'.

"I had to search my mind and think, 'Would I honestly care if I never worked again?' And I think I can honestly say no."

Despite this, Anthony has no plans to retire, and will keep making movies until his body can't take it anymore.

He told Empire magazine: "I have no intentions of retiring at all. I was talking to my wife about acting the other day. She said, 'I don't think you'll ever want to stop'. I don't know, maybe not.

Often I think you can get to 70 and think, 'Oh, I'm tired, I think I'll just retire now' and then you die

"Sometimes I like to take a bit of a rest. But if something came along that was intriguing and they paid me enough to do it, then I would. It keeps my brain active. Often I think you can get to 70 and think, 'Oh, I'm tired, I think I'll just retire now' and then you die.

"At the same time, I don't want to be working on a set until five in the morning. I did it on a film recently and just thought, 'No, I've had it with doing this.' "
