I'm a typically lazy person. It is sort of characteristic of actors.
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 was a writer. I just wasn't a very good one. I was lucky enough to have a playwriting teacher who told me that I'd be a better actor than I would a playwright.
Liev Schreiber
I'm kind of an obsessive-compulsive person, like, neat obsessive.
Liev Schreiber

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 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
There's something cathartic about swearing 150 times after spending ten hours in the editing room.
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
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.
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
As soon as you know what you're doing, you're doing it wrong.
Liev Schreiber
You know, I have a deep, deep affinity for Dr. Suess.
