More quotes by William H. Macy
Directors work 10 times harder than anyone else. Get paid a quarter.
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
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
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
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
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.
William H. Macy
I'm a firm believer that character is highly overrated. Character is a trick that we do with the audience's collusion.
William H. Macy
I introduced myself to Scorsese and I said, If you need someone to do craft services, I'm there.
William H. Macy
The Spirit Awards are great too, they'll say anything because they're not televised. Another great drinking night.
William H. Macy
I'll tell you this about the Oscars - they're real.
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
It's hard to be depressed around a ukulele. You just pick it up and you're halfway home.
William H. Macy
One of the things I did early on in film was over-enunciate and talk too loud.
William H. Macy
Actors are embracing a new aesthetic, which is leaning more toward truthful and simple and direct, as opposed to what we would normally call sitcom acting.
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
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
We must admit that it is quite common that people do have affairs with their leading ladies and men.
William H. Macy
To a certain extent. I'm a fan of rehearsal on the day [of the shoot], more than getting together a week beforehand.
William H. Macy
Nothing else counts except what you want.
William H. Macy
Somebody's gotta stand up and say pubic hair is good, murder is bad. Sex is good, violence is bad.
William H. Macy
