As a director you have to be careful you don't over-design the film. You have to be careful that the period aspect does not take over.

More quotes by Stanley Tucci
I hate movies that take a long time to shoot or directors that labor over every shot or do excessive amounts of coverage and excessive takes and don't keep things moving or constantly cutting.
Stanley Tucci
A dream that you don't fight for can haunt you for the rest of your life.
Stanley Tucci
But usually I'll wake up and start writing about nine o'clock. I'll probably write for about three hours, and I'll do that over the next month and a half.
Stanley Tucci
I didn't know you had to change diapers so often. I couldn't believe it - we must change them 10 times a day - each. So that's 20 diapers a piece a day.
Stanley Tucci
3D movie is tedious, its tedious for everybody, it's hard for the crew, it's hard for the actors. It adds more time. It's more technically complicated, so that just adds more time and takes a little more time away from he acting and that's kind of frustrating but to say I'll never do 3D again that doesn't make any sense.
Stanley Tucci
I'm actually one who will encourage directors to cut my lines.
Stanley Tucci
What's great is when you're working with somebody with whom you have a connection, it's exciting because there's a shorthand and you trust each other and you have a good time together on the set and so you can go a little farther than you might normally because you're with somebody that you trust.
Stanley Tucci
If you find that thing you love, it doesn't necessarily matter whether you do it well or not-you just need to do it.
Stanley Tucci
My partner, Beth Alexander, and I want to produce smaller films, but commercially viable films that will enable me to make the kinds of movies I want to make.
Stanley Tucci
As soon as the actor steps into the role, you probably can cut 50% of the lines because there's a person there now. And what a person does with their eyes, with their mouth, with their hands, the way they walk into a room, you can probably cut half the scene.
Stanley Tucci
The thing is, I'm a very practical filmmaker.
Stanley Tucci
I'm pretty much a character-driven film director and my movies are smaller. I don't do a lot of coverage. I use lots of master shots.
Stanley Tucci
I have consciously not taken the role of a gangster, which has been offered to me far too many times.
Stanley Tucci
Sometimes we all make relationships more complicated than they necessarily have to be.
Stanley Tucci
As a director, I also get to sit and watch actors and learn from them in a way that I don't get to do when I'm just acting.
Stanley Tucci
The smaller films just take a longer period of time to build their fan base because people don't see them as soon as they come out in the theater. They see them, after a period of years.
Stanley Tucci
I've always considered myself an actor first and foremost.
Stanley Tucci
I've been playing the father of teenagers for years. People always thought that I was 40 when I was 26. Once you lose your hair, they're like Oh! He's really old now.
Stanley Tucci
I think it's important to have a good sense of humor and joke around with your kids. That's what I do a lot.
Stanley Tucci
The constraints of melodrama can be a great blessing, because they demand that all the characters involved - as absurd and extreme as they may initially seem - must stay utterly rooted in their own reality, or the whole project collapses.
Stanley Tucci
