Actors are as good as they allow themselves to be, and to portray life, you have to have as broad an experience of it as you possibly can, so everything's worth it.

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
I direct in the same way that I act, which is thinking about what the scene needs.
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 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
Some actors need to be rattled and some need to be focused
Liev Schreiber
I really don't think there is anybody in the business with better eyes than Elijah Wood.
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
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 am very good with dialects, but the two that I can't do for some reason are the South African and Australian.
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
You know, I have a deep, deep affinity for Dr. Suess.
Liev Schreiber
There's something cathartic about swearing 150 times after spending ten hours in the editing room.
Liev Schreiber
You always have to create the character from the ground up.
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
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
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 actually loved Winnipeg. Everyone told me I was going to hate it, but it was great.
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
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'm misrepresented as a scary person. I'm not. It's all about my size and my eyebrows.
