More quotes by Liev Schreiber
I am so used to being able to express myself from being an actor. So when people don't understand me, I'm just completely lost.
Liev Schreiber
I'm a typically lazy person. It is sort of characteristic of actors.
Liev Schreiber
I'm not that interested in working with impervious people.
Liev Schreiber
You always have to create the character from the ground up.
Liev Schreiber
Hamlet is a remarkably easy role. Physically it's hard because it tends to be about three hours long and you're talking the whole time. But it's a simple role and it adapts itself very well, because the thing about Hamlet is, we all are Hamlet.
Liev Schreiber
I want to forget what I've learned about the character, but the reality is that you can't, because you've absorbed it. It's there in that moment when you need it. The hard part is to trust it.
Liev Schreiber

I don't think I've ever been a huge target for the press, and I value that to a degree, because there's a certain value for actors staying beneath the radar so they can play characters.
Liev Schreiber

Liev Schreiber
And you know, I hate to admit this, but I don't always think in terms of Shakespeare. When I eat, I do. When I'm at a restaurant, I'll think, 'Hmm, what would Macbeth have ordered?'
Liev Schreiber
I grew up in the Lower East Side of New York.
Liev Schreiber
No, I grew up admiring people who played ice hockey.
Liev Schreiber
I live with an 18-month-old Jack Russell named Chicken. He moved in about 15 months ago, and it was very hard at first because I work a lot and he doesn't.
Liev Schreiber
Everyone assumes that novelists are smarter and more interesting. They're generally smarter and more interesting, but they're often very short. So it kind of cancels all the smart and interesting stuff out.
Liev Schreiber
I direct in the same way that I act, which is thinking about what the scene needs.
Liev Schreiber
You can think about your career or you can think about your job. I like to think about my job.
Liev Schreiber
If you are going to remake a film, you may as well remake a classic.
