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.

More quotes by William H. Macy
One's complete sentences are attempts, as often as not, to complete an incomplete self with words.
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
Oh yeah, that's the Holy Grail, Pirates of the Caribbean. Johnny Depp, he's the real deal, isn't he? He doesn't get the girl, and he doesn't care.
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
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
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
You'd much rather act with a pal, someone you know really well. That way, you can cut all the niceties and go right to insulting each other.
William H. Macy
It was my first impulse, but I chose to play the priest as a true believer who was an absolute man of faith that absolutely supports the church.
William H. Macy
Our glorification of violence is ripping society apart. I don't want my children exposed to it.
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
When a director makes a mistake, people suffer. People suffer horribly sometimes.
William H. Macy
Nobody became an actor because he had a good childhood.
William H. Macy
I'll tell you this about the Oscars - they're real.
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
That red carpet has to be felt to be believed.
William H. Macy
So much of the violence in the movies is b.s. violence: A guy in the middle of a large city with 14 people lying on the ground that he's just killed with his superhuman powers, and there's not a cop to be found. Not a siren to be heard. No price to be paid. That's not true, and I don't like that sort of stuff.
William H. Macy
I feel very secure about the role of the actor in the future. They need us, because stories are about people.
William H. Macy
Ninety percent of the preparation we do as actors is just jive. It doesn't do anything.
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
We all want to be 20 again and have that first sense of love.
William H. Macy
