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.

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.

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.

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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I have consciously not taken the role of a gangster, which has been offered to me far too many times.
Stanley Tucci
Image
I mean, Scorsese's a genius, and that's one way of shooting.

Every character, no matter who you play, at times is pretending to be somebody else. People have a public face and a private face.

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
Image
So yes, I hope to act in other people's movies, big and small, because that's how I make my living, really.
