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.

More quotes by Stanley Tucci
I'm actually one who will encourage directors to cut my lines.
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
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
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
People wear shorts to the Broadway theater. There should be a law against that.
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
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
I write in the mornings. During my down time.
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
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
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
I'm not saying they won't be bigger projects someday.
Stanley Tucci
Sometimes we all make relationships more complicated than they necessarily have to be.
Stanley Tucci
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.
Stanley Tucci
I have consciously not taken the role of a gangster, which has been offered to me far too many times.
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
It's different if you're a painter. You can hidethe ones that don't work. You can't do that with movies. They tellthe story of who you are at the time, and that's the wonderful thingabout it.
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
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
A dream that you don't fight for can haunt you for the rest of your life.
Stanley Tucci
