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
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
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'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
I'm a typically lazy person. It is sort of characteristic of actors.
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
I am very good with dialects, but the two that I can't do for some reason are the South African and Australian.
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
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
Part of what I enjoy about the theatre and acting is that sense of history.
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
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
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
Call me communist, but I think that's something that everyone, regardless of their family's income, has a right to, and I was fortunate enough to have a mother who felt that way as well.
Liev Schreiber
I think New York will always be this incredible international crossroads, and I don't think that will ever change.
Liev Schreiber
I get very nervous around famous people and I get nervous around beautiful women.
Liev Schreiber
I actually loved Winnipeg. Everyone told me I was going to hate it, but it was great.
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.
