Liev Schreiber
I'm misrepresented as a scary person. I'm not. It's all about my size and my eyebrows.
Liev Schreiber

Liev Schreiber
You always have to create the character from the ground up.
Liev Schreiber
Actors, you know, they're often awkward people in real life.
Liev Schreiber

Liev Schreiber
I direct in the same way that I act, which is thinking about what the scene needs.
