More quotes by 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
Everyone hooks up with George Clooney. He's a genuinely cool guy. He's using his powers for good.
William H. Macy
The Spirit Awards are great too, they'll say anything because they're not televised. Another great drinking night.
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
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
Stephen King writes a lot of things that are really charming and quirky, and that are more ironic than horror.
William H. Macy
Our glorification of violence is ripping society apart. I don't want my children exposed to it.
William H. Macy
I do want to do TV, but I'm looking to be a creator, writer, and producer, and perhaps I could be a recurring character. Do 10 shows a year, something like that.
William H. Macy
It started with the Godfather, this operatic violence. I don't know.
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
A favorite cast? Lisa Kudrow, Anthony Hopkins, Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman, and my wife.
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
We, in America, are so screwed up when it comes to sex. That's all we can see.
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
Somebody's gotta stand up and say pubic hair is good, murder is bad. Sex is good, violence is bad.
William H. Macy
I'm a big fan of rehearsal. I'm famous for pulling the cast together, not so much to formally rehearse, but just to run the lines. My theory of acting is that it takes all your attention just to stay in the moment, and keep your attention on the other person, and get him to do what you want him to do.
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
One of the things I did early on in film was over-enunciate and talk too loud.
William H. Macy
I've always felt that, no matter where you go, people are just people.
William H. Macy
You'd much rather act with a pal, someone you know really well. That way, you can cut all the niceties and go right to insulting each other.
William H. Macy
