More quotes by William H. Macy
I've always felt that, no matter where you go, people are just people.
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
If I had my choice, I would do the same little independent films, but they would have $100 million budgets, so I could get paid a fortune and hang out in a huge trailer.
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 introduced myself to Scorsese and I said, If you need someone to do craft services, I'm there.
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
Shameless is a rough show, and it’s not for everyone, but it’s also beautiful.
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
Our glorification of violence is ripping society apart. I don't want my children exposed to it.
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
I have a tendency to say 'yes' to a script or no to a script. Not 'yes' based on a rewrite.
William H. Macy
Perhaps there is such a thing as obscene sex, but I know that violence is always obscene. So I don't get it, that you can disembowel a woman but you can't see her tits. Who made that up? That's sick!
William H. Macy
The reason they came up with the ratings board is that there are a lot of movies out there, and parents need some guidance. Not only for the kids, but for adults, as well. If you don't like to see a certain kind of film, there should be some rating, so that you know what you're getting into. But the present system doesn't work.
William H. Macy
I'm not religious. It's an issue, 'cause I've got two little kids, and I feel you can't grow up without knowledge of religion.
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
Many times, I like to read the script before I even know who they want me to play, so I can read it and really enjoy it as an audience member. I think that's given me the ability to ferret out the really special scripts from all the rest.
William H. Macy
I love directors who talk action as opposed to emotion.
William H. Macy
I think acting is getting better and better.
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
I was a dog in a past life. Really. I'll be walking down the street and dogs will do a sort of double take. Like, Hey, I know him.
William H. Macy
