More quotes by Liev Schreiber
I'm a typically lazy person. It is sort of characteristic of actors.
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 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'm actually a very bad surfer, which is good because everybody likes a bad surfer. Nobody likes a good surfer.
Liev Schreiber
I really do think that if you're doing your job right, you're never gonna be what the other actor was, but you can be influenced by his intelligence and his choices.
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.

Part of what I enjoy about the theatre and acting is that sense of history.
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
I'm not that interested in working with impervious people.
Liev Schreiber
As soon as you know what you're doing, you're doing it wrong.
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 grew up in the Lower East Side of New York.
Liev Schreiber
I find that the most interestingly written parts happen to be the bad guys.
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 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
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
No, I grew up admiring people who played ice hockey.
Liev Schreiber
I'm misrepresented as a scary person. I'm not. It's all about my size and my eyebrows.
Liev Schreiber
You always have to create the character from the ground up.
