It was my first impulse, but I chose to play the priest as a true believer who was an absolute man of faith that absolutely supports the church.

Our glorification of violence is ripping society apart. I don't want my children exposed to it.

I don't know if it's fair to say that it's a bad time for movies. It seems to me that throughout the entire history of filmmaking, every year there have been about two really wonderful movies, about 10 others that are pretty good, and a whole pile of garbage.

Image
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.

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.

I'm sure I have a process, but it mostly takes place in my dreams.

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

You'd much rather act with a pal, someone you know really well. That way, you can cut all the niceties and go right to insulting each other.

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.

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.

We must admit that it is quite common that people do have affairs with their leading ladies and men.
William H. Macy
Image
I think I've been in situations where they looked at me and just see some rich white guy - they don't see me at all.

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.

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.

So much of the violence in the movies is b.s. violence: A guy in the middle of a large city with 14 people lying on the ground that he's just killed with his superhuman powers, and there's not a cop to be found. Not a siren to be heard. No price to be paid. That's not true, and I don't like that sort of stuff.

We always want to see people strive and see the human spirit triumph against adversity. That's what it's all about because that's what we're doing. We're trying to triumph in our lives.

Nobody became an actor because he had a good childhood.

At the end of the day, what actors really want to do is act a lot and not wait around in the trailer.

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

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've always felt that, no matter where you go, people are just people.
