More quotes by William H. Macy
We all want to be 20 again and have that first sense of love.
William H. Macy
I love women. I always have. I'm not pretending that I understand them, but I just love women. I love being in their presence and I love everything about them.
William H. Macy
Many times, I like to read the script before I even know who they want me to play, so I can read it and really enjoy it as an audience member. I think that's given me the ability to ferret out the really special scripts from all the rest.
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
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.
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
I do love comedy, but I'm not brave enough to tackle a script whose goal is to make you laugh. That's tough. The ones that can do it, I tip my hat off to them, but I don't have that kind of humor or mind.
William H. Macy
It started with the Godfather, this operatic violence. I don't know.
William H. Macy
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.
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
Everyone hooks up with George Clooney. He's a genuinely cool guy. He's using his powers for good.
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
Directing is a huge amount of work with very little payoff, and a quarter of the money, and nine times more time spent.
William H. Macy
A favorite cast? Lisa Kudrow, Anthony Hopkins, Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman, and my wife.
William H. Macy
I've studied Stanislavsky, and Mamet taught Stanislavsky, and I studied with Sanford Meisner. But the part of the method that I think is the most fruitful is the method of physical actions. It all comes down to your objective: Nothing else counts except what you want. How you feel will take care of itself.
William H. Macy
A good director is very well prepared, and knows exactly how he's going to cut the film, so the shooting is as efficient as possible.
William H. Macy
I'm getting bigger roles, and I'm on location more, and I have a wife and family. I'd rather work less, and I've started to implement that. It was either that or my wife would break my heart.
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
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
Here are the good things about independent films: They do the more interesting, chancy scripts. They're run by love.
William H. Macy
