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.

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.

Ninety percent of the preparation we do as actors is just jive. It doesn't do anything.
William H. Macy
Image
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

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

Talk about putting your money where your mouth is. It's not right. Someone's gotta say it. They said it. I applaud them.

Just learn the whole script before you start shooting. That makes shooting a joy. Even if they rewrite, it's easy.

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

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

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.

I'll tell you this about the Oscars - they're real.

We, in America, are so screwed up when it comes to sex. That's all we can see.

One's complete sentences are attempts, as often as not, to complete an incomplete self with words.

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
Image
To a certain extent. I'm a fan of rehearsal on the day [of the shoot], more than getting together a week beforehand.

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.

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.

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.

Another mistake a director can make is not to be prepared, so you get there on the day to shoot the scene, and they don't know how it should be blocked, and they're not clear on how they want to do a scene.
William H. Macy
Image
That's pretty much what every scene is about, getting people to see your point of view. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

I introduced myself to Scorsese and I said, If you need someone to do craft services, I'm there.
