Quote

We thought sex was free. Sex is not free. There's a price to be paid emotionally, physically, even legally. Sex isn't a casual thing. It's a huge thing.

Everyone hooks up with George Clooney. He's a genuinely cool guy. He's using his powers for good.
William H. Macy
Image
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.

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.

I love metaphor the way some people love junk food.

It's not good for people to have the safety net too low... People can take care of themselves better than we allow them to.

So many actors spend so much energy trying to remember the lines. It's so foolish. Guys are the worst.

Somebody's gotta stand up and say pubic hair is good, murder is bad. Sex is good, violence is bad.

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.

I do want to do TV, but I'm looking to be a creator, writer, and producer, and perhaps I could be a recurring character. Do 10 shows a year, something like that.

Stephen King writes a lot of things that are really charming and quirky, and that are more ironic than horror.

Image
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!

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.

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.

Image
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.

Directing is a huge amount of work with very little payoff, and a quarter of the money, and nine times more time spent.

I'm really proud of the writing on Door to Door, and I think that's the Emmy that meant the most - the writing.

I'm getting bigger roles, and I'm on location more, and I have a wife and family. I'd rather work less, and I've started to implement that. It was either that or my wife would break my heart.

Shameless is a rough show, and it’s not for everyone, but it’s also beautiful.

The Spirit Awards are great too, they'll say anything because they're not televised. Another great drinking night.

I am against censorship in any form. I think anybody should be able to make any movie he or she wants and let the public decide. If it's disgusting and they don't want to see it, they won't go. I believe in the audience.
