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.
Stanley Tucci
Image
Sometimes we all make relationships more complicated than they necessarily have to be.
Stanley Tucci
Image
I think everybody has a little bit of an asshole inside of them.
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.

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.

And I love doing my own projects that's what I've always wanted to do.
Stanley Tucci
Image
I've always considered myself an actor first and foremost.
Stanley Tucci
Image
The thing is, I'm a very practical filmmaker.
Stanley Tucci
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.
Stanley Tucci
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.
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
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
I'm not saying they won't be bigger projects someday.
Stanley Tucci
Image
I mean, Scorsese's a genius, and that's one way of shooting.
Stanley Tucci
Image
People wear shorts to the Broadway theater. There should be a law against that.
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.
