Yeah, I made it. It sneaks up on you. You're some schmuck and you wake up one day and you go, Good God, I'm the cheese.

I love directors who talk action as opposed to emotion.
William H. Macy
Image
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

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.

When a director makes a mistake, people suffer. People suffer horribly sometimes.
William H. Macy

Making a mistake means overshooting a scene, shooting too many takes, for instance. Long after you've got it, you just keep shooting.

I'm not much of a preparer. I think sometimes as an actor you need to go out and learn some skills, but in terms of preparation for understanding the character, it's all on the page, and if it's not on the page, you're in trouble.
