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.

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.

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

Image
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
And I love doing my own projects that's what I've always wanted to do.
Stanley Tucci

I mean, Scorsese's a genius, and that's one way of shooting.
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.

If you feel safe then you can go wherever you want to go as an actor.

I've always considered myself an actor first and foremost.

I think everybody has a little bit of an asshole inside of them.

People wear shorts to the Broadway theater. There should be a law against that.

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.

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.
