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.

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.

Image
The thing is, I'm a very practical filmmaker.
Stanley Tucci
Image
I've always considered myself an actor first and foremost.

Image
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
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.

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.

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

Stanley Tucci
Image
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.

Image
I write in the mornings. During my down time.

A dream that you don't fight for can haunt you for the rest of your life.

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

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.

Image
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.

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.

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

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.
