More quotes by 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
I feel like a lot of the young actors that are just coming up are really good. I think directors are directing better.
William H. Macy
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.
William H. Macy
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
Shameless is a rough show, and it’s not for everyone, but it’s also beautiful.
William H. Macy
Nothing else counts except what you want.

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
It's hard to be depressed around a ukulele. You just pick it up and you're halfway home.
William H. Macy
I think theater is powerful. The best experiences I had in the theater are more powerful than the best experiences I had in movies.
William H. Macy
As an actor, early on, you learn that the audience is never wrong. And if you think they are wrong, you need to find a different way to make a living. Collectively the audience is smarter than you will ever, ever be.
William H. Macy
A good actor's director, first of all, is prepared, so there's not an exorbitant amount of wasted footage.
William H. Macy
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.
William H. Macy
When I was in New York, I was making a living. We had a summer house and a car that I could put in a garage. That's something for a stage actor.
William H. Macy
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.
William H. Macy
When I watch a film I get swept away. I don't really watch the camera.
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
I love directors who talk action as opposed to emotion.
William H. Macy
I'll tell you this about the Oscars - they're real.
William H. Macy
Women, in order to recharge their batteries, gather in groups. They can recharge their batteries with their sisters. I tend to recharge my batteries in solitude, therefore the motorcycle trips. I need to be alone. As a matter of fact, I have to be careful. I could turn into a hermit.
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
