More quotes by William H. Macy
Emotions are the natural result of striving for something. Every single scene has two or more people in it, and nobody wants the same thing, so they are negotiating this one way or another. The result of that negotiation will bring out all kinds of emotional stuff in you.
William H. Macy
I think theater is powerful. The best experiences I had in the theater are more powerful than the best experiences I had in movies.
William H. Macy
Another mistake a director can make is not to be prepared, so you get there on the day to shoot the scene, and they don't know how it should be blocked, and they're not clear on how they want to do a scene.
William H. Macy
The only people who do plays in LA are people who can't get jobs in TV shows.
William H. Macy
Women, in order to recharge their batteries, gather in groups. They can recharge their batteries with their sisters. I tend to recharge my batteries in solitude, therefore the motorcycle trips. I need to be alone. As a matter of fact, I have to be careful. I could turn into a hermit.
William H. Macy
Every scene has two people who want two different things, so there's conflict in every scene. You've got to duke it out, and you've got to get the other person to change his or her mind and do it your way.
William H. Macy
It’s a shame...you just don’t see young people doing anything outside these days.
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
I feel very secure about the role of the actor in the future. They need us, because stories are about people.
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 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
I love women. I always have. I'm not pretending that I understand them, but I just love women. I love being in their presence and I love everything about them.
William H. Macy
Anyway, I try to be a good guy. I try to tell the truth, but I'm not religious.
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 love making movies, I love the differentness of it, I love writing. But I've always liked television. I grew up on television.
William H. Macy
You have to do whatever you can to limit the things that could make you feel insecure.
William H. Macy
I've always felt it's the directors purview to say what it's the actor's purview to say how. It's not good for an actor to have the big picture in mind - it bollocks you up. An actor's purview is the tiny little... We measure our performance in seconds.
William H. Macy
The only reason an indie gets made is because someone has a burning passion to do it and won't take no for an answer, as opposed to a big film, which is like a train that starts rolling down the tracks and nothing can stop it.
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
I loved Batman, don't get me wrong, but that kind of mindless violence is not good for young children.
William H. Macy
