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.

More quotes by 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
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
I'm sure I have a process, but it mostly takes place in my dreams.
William H. Macy
That red carpet has to be felt to be believed.
William H. Macy
You have to do whatever you can to limit the things that could make you feel insecure.
William H. Macy
There will always be people with disabilities. And by my estimation, the scorecard for the way we take care of those who need our help the most, those at the very bottom of that safety net, is pretty dismal. And that has to change.
William H. Macy
I'm a big fan of rehearsal. I'm famous for pulling the cast together, not so much to formally rehearse, but just to run the lines. My theory of acting is that it takes all your attention just to stay in the moment, and keep your attention on the other person, and get him to do what you want him to do.
William H. Macy
So many actors spend so much energy trying to remember the lines. It's so foolish. Guys are the worst.
William H. Macy
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
Somebody's gotta stand up and say pubic hair is good, murder is bad. Sex is good, violence is bad.
William H. Macy
We, in America, are so screwed up when it comes to sex. That's all we can see.
William H. Macy
Nobody became an actor because he had a good childhood.
William H. Macy
I love directors who talk action as opposed to emotion.
William H. Macy
Here are the good things about independent films: They do the more interesting, chancy scripts. They're run by love.
William H. Macy
Talk about putting your money where your mouth is. It's not right. Someone's gotta say it. They said it. I applaud them.
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.
William H. Macy
I do love comedy, but I'm not brave enough to tackle a script whose goal is to make you laugh. That's tough. The ones that can do it, I tip my hat off to them, but I don't have that kind of humor or mind.
William H. Macy
Emotions are the natural result of striving for something. Every single scene has two or more people in it, and nobody wants the same thing, so they are negotiating this one way or another. The result of that negotiation will bring out all kinds of emotional stuff in you.
William H. Macy
Perhaps there is such a thing as obscene sex, but I know that violence is always obscene. So I don't get it, that you can disembowel a woman but you can't see her tits. Who made that up? That's sick!
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
