It's hard to be depressed around a ukulele. You just pick it up and you're halfway home.
William H. Macy
Image
Ultimately, a more experienced director realizes that you've got to stop sometime and just move on. They're braver about that.
William H. Macy
Image
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
Image
Directors work 10 times harder than anyone else. Get paid a quarter.
William H. Macy
Image
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.

That's pretty much what every scene is about, getting people to see your point of view. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
William H. Macy

Sometimes, directors are afraid to stop shooting, because the second you stop and say, We got it, and move on, you'll never get another chance. And they're terrified to get in the cutting room and not be happy. So they just keep shooting.

The only people who do plays in LA are people who can't get jobs in TV shows.

Image
I don't watch rushes. My whole thing is to try to stay in the moment with the other actor, and to let it all hang. I'm not sure I'm right on that, though.

Stephen King writes a lot of things that are really charming and quirky, and that are more ironic than horror.
William H. Macy
Image
I love directors who talk action as opposed to emotion.
William H. Macy
Image
What I've discovered is, really, acting is acting is acting. It's all the same. Seventy-five percent of the skills are the same in both media.
William H. Macy
Image
You should know the lines, be prepared, get sleep, and have the script analyzed so you're ready to rock and roll.
William H. Macy
Image
I loved Batman, don't get me wrong, but that kind of mindless violence is not good for young children.
William H. Macy
Image
So many actors spend so much energy trying to remember the lines. It's so foolish. Guys are the worst.
William H. Macy
Image
When I watch a film I get swept away. I don't really watch the camera.
William H. Macy
Image
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

The character and the actor in a long-running series slowly become one. I think there must be funny stories about actors who, in the pilot for a TV series, did some weird thing with their eyes, or some speech impediment or something, and the next thing you know, it's eight years later, and they're still doing that freaking gag.

If I had my choice, I would do the same little independent films, but they would have $100 million budgets, so I could get paid a fortune and hang out in a huge trailer.

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.
