More quotes by Liev Schreiber
Some actors need to be rattled and some need to be focused
Liev Schreiber
Actors, you know, they're often awkward people in real life.
Liev Schreiber
I was always curious about motivation and intention, and really, that's a lot of what acting is.
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 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

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

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 find that the most interestingly written parts happen to be the bad guys.
Liev Schreiber
You can think about your career or you can think about your job. I like to think about my job.
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
No, I grew up admiring people who played ice hockey.
Liev Schreiber
I think people respond to truthful, simple narrative, and the more you try to dress it up to try and do something else, the harder it is for people to relate to.
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
