William H. Macy
A favorite cast? Lisa Kudrow, Anthony Hopkins, Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman, and my wife.

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
The roughest part is showing up. Once you throw yourself into the scene, it's just great fun to let it all go and not be self-conscious, and stop questioning whether you're sufficient.

William H. Macy

William H. Macy
Nothing else counts except what you want.
William H. Macy
Writers love to write those idiotic, long stage directions, and some of them worse than others. They have nothing to do with the movie. They're just jerking around.
William H. Macy
When I watch a film I get swept away. I don't really watch the camera.
William H. Macy
It’s a shame...you just don’t see young people doing anything outside these days.
William H. Macy

William H. Macy
It started with the Godfather, this operatic violence. I don't know.
William H. Macy
I've written a lot of scripts that someone else directed, and it's absolutely vital that, if I'm gonna act in it, then I have to take off the writer hat and let the director direct.
William H. Macy
I love directors who talk action as opposed to emotion.
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 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.
William H. Macy
