More quotes by 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
Just learn the whole script before you start shooting. That makes shooting a joy. Even if they rewrite, it's easy.
William H. Macy
Nothing else counts except what you want.
William H. Macy
We must admit that it is quite common that people do have affairs with their leading ladies and men.
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
Actors are embracing a new aesthetic, which is leaning more toward truthful and simple and direct, as opposed to what we would normally call sitcom acting.
William H. Macy
I don't know if it's fair to say that it's a bad time for movies. It seems to me that throughout the entire history of filmmaking, every year there have been about two really wonderful movies, about 10 others that are pretty good, and a whole pile of garbage.
William H. Macy
I love directors who talk action as opposed to emotion.
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
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 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
I've studied Stanislavsky, and Mamet taught Stanislavsky, and I studied with Sanford Meisner. But the part of the method that I think is the most fruitful is the method of physical actions. It all comes down to your objective: Nothing else counts except what you want. How you feel will take care of itself.
William H. Macy
I have been working out for 30 years, staying in shape in the dream that someday I would get to play a sex scene. Finally I get one, and they cut it.
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
I introduced myself to Scorsese and I said, If you need someone to do craft services, I'm there.
William H. Macy
It's hard to be depressed around a ukulele. You just pick it up and you're halfway home.
William H. Macy
Nobody became an actor because he had a good childhood.
William H. Macy
I love metaphor the way some people love junk food.
William H. Macy
Directing is a huge amount of work with very little payoff, and a quarter of the money, and nine times more time spent.
William H. Macy
That's pretty much what every scene is about, getting people to see your point of view. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
William H. Macy
