I think that it's important not to take [acting] too seriously. It's all pretend. It's a strange job.

More quotes by Michael Pitt
I'm doing a record that has a story that runs through all of the songs, and then there is also a film that goes along with it.
Michael Pitt
A kid now can practically record a song or edit a short film on his way to school. I think that will produce, perhaps, more less-interesting things - or you'll have to search more to find the interesting things. But I also think it's exciting.
Michael Pitt
There are directors who, their direction is high, but then when you challenge it, it crumbles. They can't back up what they're asking.
Michael Pitt
I feel that film, as opposed to theatre, is about capturing that one, real moment.
Michael Pitt
In a weird way scientists understand things on a higher level but it takes a lot of dedication and a lot of time.
Michael Pitt
Anything that you [as an actor] can change about yourself for a part is helpful.
Michael Pitt
All these directors who do different locations forget that one room can be shot from a million different angles and a million different ways. When I direct a movie, I'm going to use that.
Michael Pitt
It sounds cliche, but success is your friends, your family, what you do, and if you're happy when you wake up.
Michael Pitt
Some directors are very free and some directors are very specific. It seemed like doing a play.
Michael Pitt
I'm not really equipped to do anything else but making movies. In every other aspect of my life I'm a total failure.
Michael Pitt
There are two kinds of directors: There's the kind where two plus two equals four, and you have to help them figure it out. And then there's the kind that throws you in a room, locks the door, sets the house on fire and films it.
Michael Pitt
I want my audience to say, Wow, this is a film I'm benefiting from. I'm benefiting from what this filmmaker is trying to say. I'd always rather learn and be entertained than be entertained and feel myself getting dumber by the moment.
Michael Pitt
I remember when I was a kid looking at different types of film and really examining the grains of them. I remember even looking at the ink streaks.
Michael Pitt
Well, the first thing I wanted to be was a carpenter. Then I wanted to be a painter and then a singer. It was when I first saw 'Lawrence of Arabia' that I wanted to be an actor.
Michael Pitt
If I'm able to catch the screening, there's a point in the film where, like clockwork, a portion of the audience gets really emotional and begins to cry. And that's very difficult to make happen.
Michael Pitt
Personally, I'm very classic. If I'm going to wear a suit, it's going to be classic, black, and fit very well. There's nothing like it.
Michael Pitt
When actors give their input, it can be very ego-driven, and directors are scared of that.
Michael Pitt
I think it's very dangerous for an actor to take [shooting] too seriously because I think it could really damage you if you do that.
Michael Pitt
I'm really, really blessed. Not only am I blessed to have found that I love making films, but I'm also insanely blessed to be able to do it. I have to remind myself that when I'm complaining.
Michael Pitt
Right now is a very interesting time because of the digital cameras, and the fact that you can edit anywhere. It's a great time to be a filmmaker, is a great time to be starting off.
