And I love doing my own projects that's what I've always wanted to do.
Stanley Tucci
Image
I write in the mornings. During my down time.
Stanley Tucci
Image
I'm not saying they won't be bigger projects someday.
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
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
Image
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
Image
I'm pretty much a character-driven film director and my movies are smaller. I don't do a lot of coverage. I use lots of master shots.
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.

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

Image
I'm actually one who will encourage directors to cut my lines.
Stanley Tucci
Image
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.
Stanley Tucci
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.

Image
I'd read Up in the Old Hotel, and I wanted to do something with Mitchell's stuff for a long time.

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
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.

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.
