More quotes by William H. Macy
I got an agent. He said, what do you wanna do, and I said, I want an Oscar nomination. That's your job, that's what I'm paying you for. And I got it.
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
I love directors who talk action as opposed to emotion.
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 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
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.
William H. Macy
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
There are statistics out that say 20 year olds, 18 years olds think about sex 90 percent of the time. They only don't think about sex when they're eating, and that's rare.
William H. Macy
One's complete sentences are attempts, as often as not, to complete an incomplete self with words.
William H. Macy
Our glorification of violence is ripping society apart. I don't want my children exposed to it.
William H. Macy
The only people who do plays in LA are people who can't get jobs in TV shows.
William H. Macy
I'm sure I have a process, but it mostly takes place in my dreams.
William H. Macy
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.
William H. Macy
Actors are embracing a new aesthetic, which is leaning more toward truthful and simple and direct, as opposed to what we would normally call sitcom acting.
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
A favorite cast? Lisa Kudrow, Anthony Hopkins, Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman, and my wife.
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
At the end of the day, what actors really want to do is act a lot and not wait around in the trailer.
William H. Macy
Nobody became an actor because he had a good childhood.
William H. Macy
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.
William H. Macy
