More quotes by Liev Schreiber
A lot of times in Hollywood you're as good as your last job.
Liev Schreiber
I grew up in the Lower East Side of New York.
Liev Schreiber
I've always been more interested in the audience than I have in the plays. I like that idea of all those people sitting in the dark together. It's kind of fun.
Liev Schreiber
The funny thing is that I write and I act a lot about being Jewish, but I don't really think about it as a regular person.
Liev Schreiber
I am struggling, though. It’s f-cking hard. So little sleep. It’s 23 hours and 59 minutes of exhaustion. They do one little thing in that last minute that is just so compelling and fascinating that it makes the other 23 hours and 59 minutes worthwhile.
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
Pitching. You're pitching yourself constantly which is probably why there are so many plays about sales. I think also it's like life.
Liev Schreiber
I'm a typically lazy person. It is sort of characteristic of actors.
Liev Schreiber
I think New York will always be this incredible international crossroads, and I don't think that will ever change.
Liev Schreiber
Particularly with the plays I choose, they're good parts, and they're parts that have been around long before a bad actor played them, and will be around long after I play them. Part of what I enjoy about the theatre and acting is that sense of history.
Liev Schreiber
I direct in the same way that I act, which is thinking about what the scene needs.
Liev Schreiber
I'm actually a very bad surfer, which is good because everybody likes a bad surfer. Nobody likes a good surfer.
Liev Schreiber
There's something cathartic about swearing 150 times after spending ten hours in the editing room.
Liev Schreiber
I was a writer. I just wasn't a very good one. I was lucky enough to have a playwriting teacher who told me that I'd be a better actor than I would a playwright.
Liev Schreiber
You know, I have a deep, deep affinity for Dr. Suess.
Liev Schreiber
Every girl I've gone out with has said something to me first.
Liev Schreiber
I'm not that interested in working with impervious people.
Liev Schreiber
I really do think that if you're doing your job right, you're never gonna be what the other actor was, but you can be influenced by his intelligence and his choices.
Liev Schreiber
I love having that creative discussion where, at the end of the day, you both feel better for having done it. Maybe it's a typically Jewish thing, where you sort of go at each other.
Liev Schreiber
I was always curious about motivation and intention, and really, that's a lot of what acting is.
