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 wanted to be an actor when I was a kid.
Stanley Tucci
I've always considered myself an actor first and foremost.
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
Every character, no matter who you play, at times is pretending to be somebody else. People have a public face and a private face.
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
So yes, I hope to act in other people's movies, big and small, because that's how I make my living, really.
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
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
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
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
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 think everybody has a little bit of an asshole inside of them.
Stanley Tucci
I'm interested in how people shoot because I have a very specific way of shooting and I'm fascinated by the way other people shoot films, particularly if they're smart and talented.
Stanley Tucci
You have to be serious about what you do but you mustn't take yourself seriously. That way you'll be happier and ultimately you'll be more successful. You'll be better at what you do.
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
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
Those moments in between the moments, those are the most interesting. What's unspoken, the way we talk around things, the way our actions are inconsistent with what we're feeling, how anger and affection manifest themselves in strange ways at inappropriate times.
Stanley Tucci
Sometimes we all make relationships more complicated than they necessarily have to be.
Stanley Tucci
This is the funny thing about Skype. No one is really looking into the camera. People always looking down because they're looking at the image. You wish the camera was there in the center.
Stanley Tucci
I'm not saying they won't be bigger projects someday.
Stanley Tucci
