More quotes by 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
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
A dream that you don't fight for can haunt you for the rest of your life.
Stanley Tucci
If you feel safe then you can go wherever you want to go as an actor.
Stanley Tucci
I think everybody has a little bit of an asshole inside of them.
Stanley Tucci
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
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
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.
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 actually one who will encourage directors to cut my lines.
Stanley Tucci
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
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
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
I'm not saying they won't be bigger projects someday.
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
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
And I love doing my own projects that's what I've always wanted to do.
Stanley Tucci
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
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.
Stanley Tucci
