I'm not religious. It's an issue, 'cause I've got two little kids, and I feel you can't grow up without knowledge of religion.
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
That red carpet has to be felt to be believed.

William H. Macy
Anyway, I try to be a good guy. I try to tell the truth, but I'm not religious.
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.

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
With an inexperienced director, a lot of times the days go on to 14, 15, 16 hours. It goes horrendously overtime. And because of the lack of money, they just keep you there, regardless of the hours.
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
Nobody became an actor because he had a good childhood.
William H. Macy
It sure is boring to be around people who are in character all the time. I always find it's closer to mental illness than acting excellence.
William H. Macy
I've always felt it's the directors purview to say what it's the actor's purview to say how. It's not good for an actor to have the big picture in mind - it bollocks you up. An actor's purview is the tiny little... We measure our performance in seconds.
William H. Macy
We must admit that it is quite common that people do have affairs with their leading ladies and men.
