More quotes by William H. Macy
If I like the story and it's well written, and it's a character I want to play and they'll pay me, then I decide to do it.
William H. Macy
We all want to be 20 again and have that first sense of love.
William H. Macy
Here are the good things about independent films: They do the more interesting, chancy scripts. They're run by love.
William H. Macy
The character and the actor in a long-running series slowly become one. I think there must be funny stories about actors who, in the pilot for a TV series, did some weird thing with their eyes, or some speech impediment or something, and the next thing you know, it's eight years later, and they're still doing that freaking gag.
William H. Macy
So many actors spend so much energy trying to remember the lines. It's so foolish. Guys are the worst.
William H. Macy
The roughest part is showing up. Once you throw yourself into the scene, it's just great fun to let it all go and not be self-conscious, and stop questioning whether you're sufficient.
William H. Macy
I think I've been in situations where they looked at me and just see some rich white guy - they don't see me at all.
William H. Macy
The only people who do plays in LA are people who can't get jobs in TV shows.
William H. Macy
I got an agent. He said, what do you wanna do, and I said, I want an Oscar nomination. That's your job, that's what I'm paying you for. And I got it.
William H. Macy
I'm sure I have a process, but it mostly takes place in my dreams.
William H. Macy
The emotions will take care of themselves. You don't have to prod them along. As a matter of fact, you get in trouble when you prod them along.
William H. Macy
When I watch a film I get swept away. I don't really watch the camera.
William H. Macy
You have to do whatever you can to limit the things that could make you feel insecure.
William H. Macy
The best thing for an actor to do is take your attention off of how you feel about it, and put it on striving to obtain a particular objective. The happy result is that it brings out all this unexpected stuff in yourself.
William H. Macy
Writers love to write those idiotic, long stage directions, and some of them worse than others. They have nothing to do with the movie. They're just jerking around.
William H. Macy
Nobody became an actor because he had a good childhood.
William H. Macy
Everyone hooks up with George Clooney. He's a genuinely cool guy. He's using his powers for good.
William H. Macy
I feel like a lot of the young actors that are just coming up are really good. I think directors are directing better.
William H. Macy
Stephen King writes a lot of things that are really charming and quirky, and that are more ironic than horror.
William H. Macy
I love metaphor the way some people love junk food.
William H. Macy
