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.

More quotes by 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
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
Those moments in between the moments, those are the most interesting. What's unspoken, the way we talk around things, the way our actions are inconsistent with what we're feeling, how anger and affection manifest themselves in strange ways at inappropriate times.
Stanley Tucci
I write in the mornings. During my down time.
Stanley Tucci
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.
Stanley Tucci
I'm not saying they won't be bigger projects someday.
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
If you feel safe then you can go wherever you want to go as an actor.
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
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
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
I've always considered myself an actor first and foremost.
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
I mean, Scorsese's a genius, and that's one way of shooting.
Stanley Tucci
Sometimes we all make relationships more complicated than they necessarily have to be.
Stanley Tucci
The thing is, I'm a very practical filmmaker.
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
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.
