More quotes by William H. Macy
If I like the story and it's well written, and it's a character I want to play and they'll pay me, then I decide to do it.
William H. Macy
We, in America, are so screwed up when it comes to sex. That's all we can see.
William H. Macy
Stephen King writes a lot of things that are really charming and quirky, and that are more ironic than horror.
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
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
It sure is boring to be around people who are in character all the time. I always find it's closer to mental illness than acting excellence.
William H. Macy
Nobody became an actor because he had a good childhood.
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've got two little girls, I'm not scared about sex. I'll teach them, it's not going to kill them. But what could kill them is violence. Guns, drinking and driving, these are the real dangers in our society.
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
A favorite cast? Lisa Kudrow, Anthony Hopkins, Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman, and my wife.
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.
William H. Macy
It started with the Godfather, this operatic violence. I don't know.
William H. Macy
Somebody's gotta stand up and say pubic hair is good, murder is bad. Sex is good, violence is bad.
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
I introduced myself to Scorsese and I said, If you need someone to do craft services, I'm there.
William H. Macy
I loved Batman, don't get me wrong, but that kind of mindless violence is not good for young children.
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
I don't watch rushes. My whole thing is to try to stay in the moment with the other actor, and to let it all hang. I'm not sure I'm right on that, though.
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
