More quotes by William H. Macy
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.

William H. Macy
When I watch a film I get swept away. I don't really watch the camera.

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
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
You can skim those stage directions and go right to the dialogue. You can almost read the movie in the same amount of time it will take you to see the movie.
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
Nothing else counts except what you want.
William H. Macy
I have been working out for 30 years, staying in shape in the dream that someday I would get to play a sex scene. Finally I get one, and they cut it.
William H. Macy

William H. Macy
It started with the Godfather, this operatic violence. I don't know.
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
