More quotes by 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 think New York will always be this incredible international crossroads, and I don't think that will ever change.
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
You always have to create the character from the ground up.
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
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

Liev Schreiber

Liev Schreiber
I'm misrepresented as a scary person. I'm not. It's all about my size and my eyebrows.
Liev Schreiber
You can think about your career or you can think about your job. I like to think about my job.
Liev Schreiber
I'm kind of an obsessive-compulsive person, like, neat obsessive.
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 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
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
There's something cathartic about swearing 150 times after spending ten hours in the editing room.
Liev Schreiber
I'm a typically lazy person. It is sort of characteristic of actors.
Liev Schreiber
I find that the most interestingly written parts happen to be the bad guys.
