More quotes by William H. Macy
I'm sure I have a process, but it mostly takes place in my dreams.
William H. Macy
It sure is boring to be around people who are in character all the time. I always find it's closer to mental illness than acting excellence.
William H. Macy
There are some older women out there who are just knockouts, real beauties, and they're not getting the roles they should.
William H. Macy
You have to do whatever you can to limit the things that could make you feel insecure.
William H. Macy
At the end of the day, what actors really want to do is act a lot and not wait around in the trailer.
William H. Macy
With an inexperienced director, a lot of times the days go on to 14, 15, 16 hours. It goes horrendously overtime. And because of the lack of money, they just keep you there, regardless of the hours.
William H. Macy
I have a tendency to say 'yes' to a script or no to a script. Not 'yes' based on a rewrite.
William H. Macy
I've always felt that, no matter where you go, people are just people.
William H. Macy
A good actor's director, first of all, is prepared, so there's not an exorbitant amount of wasted footage.
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
Our glorification of violence is ripping society apart. I don't want my children exposed to it.
William H. Macy
When I was in New York, I was making a living. We had a summer house and a car that I could put in a garage. That's something for a stage actor.
William H. Macy
I'm getting bigger roles, and I'm on location more, and I have a wife and family. I'd rather work less, and I've started to implement that. It was either that or my wife would break my heart.
William H. Macy
I've got two little girls, I'm not scared about sex. I'll teach them, it's not going to kill them. But what could kill them is violence. Guns, drinking and driving, these are the real dangers in our society.
William H. Macy
Nothing else counts except what you want.
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
I feel very secure about the role of the actor in the future. They need us, because stories are about people.
William H. Macy
Just learn the whole script before you start shooting. That makes shooting a joy. Even if they rewrite, it's easy.
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've written a lot of scripts that someone else directed, and it's absolutely vital that, if I'm gonna act in it, then I have to take off the writer hat and let the director direct.
William H. Macy
