More quotes by William H. Macy
A good actor's director, first of all, is prepared, so there's not an exorbitant amount of wasted footage.
William H. Macy
Women, in order to recharge their batteries, gather in groups. They can recharge their batteries with their sisters. I tend to recharge my batteries in solitude, therefore the motorcycle trips. I need to be alone. As a matter of fact, I have to be careful. I could turn into a hermit.
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
I introduced myself to Scorsese and I said, If you need someone to do craft services, I'm there.
William H. Macy
I've always felt that, no matter where you go, people are just people.
William H. Macy
The only reason an indie gets made is because someone has a burning passion to do it and won't take no for an answer, as opposed to a big film, which is like a train that starts rolling down the tracks and nothing can stop it.
William H. Macy
There will always be people with disabilities. And by my estimation, the scorecard for the way we take care of those who need our help the most, those at the very bottom of that safety net, is pretty dismal. And that has to change.
William H. Macy
The actor has the advantage - or the liability - of knowing, It's going to be my face up there on the frickin' screen, so I better keep my wits about me. Nobody's going to care that I was bad because I was not happy. They're only going to know I'm bad.
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
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.
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
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
I love directors who talk action as opposed to emotion.
William H. Macy
The only people who do plays in LA are people who can't get jobs in TV shows.
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.
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 character and the actor in a long-running series slowly become one. I think there must be funny stories about actors who, in the pilot for a TV series, did some weird thing with their eyes, or some speech impediment or something, and the next thing you know, it's eight years later, and they're still doing that freaking gag.
William H. Macy
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.
William H. Macy
It’s a shame...you just don’t see young people doing anything outside these days.
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
