More quotes by Liev Schreiber
You always have to create the character from the ground up.
Liev Schreiber

Liev Schreiber
You can think about your career or you can think about your job. I like to think about my job.
Liev Schreiber
Actors, you know, they're often awkward people in real life.
Liev Schreiber
I think it’s really, really important to mix it up as an actor, to try to get as much kind of varied experience as you can, not only for your own personal growth as an actor but for the audience to keep them guessing about what you’re going to do.
Liev Schreiber
You know, I have a deep, deep affinity for Dr. Suess.
Liev Schreiber
Some actors need to be rattled and some need to be focused
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.
