More quotes by William H. Macy
Ultimately, a more experienced director realizes that you've got to stop sometime and just move on. They're braver about that.
William H. Macy
Directors work 10 times harder than anyone else. Get paid a quarter.
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
It's hard on an actor when you have to do a scene 45 times and you know damn well that three of the angles a director is shooting will never make it into the movie.
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
A good director is very well prepared, and knows exactly how he's going to cut the film, so the shooting is as efficient as possible.
William H. Macy
We all want to be 20 again and have that first sense of love.
William H. Macy
So much of the violence in the movies is b.s. violence: A guy in the middle of a large city with 14 people lying on the ground that he's just killed with his superhuman powers, and there's not a cop to be found. Not a siren to be heard. No price to be paid. That's not true, and I don't like that sort of stuff.
William H. Macy
You should know the lines, be prepared, get sleep, and have the script analyzed so you're ready to rock and roll.
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
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 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
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
What actors are good at doing is walking into a situation that should make you incredibly self-conscious and frightened and doing it anyway. That's the gig, pretending that you are comfortable.
William H. Macy
I love directors who talk action as opposed to emotion.
William H. Macy
I've always felt that, no matter where you go, people are just people.
William H. Macy
It was my first impulse, but I chose to play the priest as a true believer who was an absolute man of faith that absolutely supports the church.
William H. Macy
I'm really proud of the writing on Door to Door, and I think that's the Emmy that meant the most - the writing.
William H. Macy
All that back-story stuff doesn't help. What you get paid for is to stand toe-to-toe with the other actor and get him to do your will.
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.
