More quotes by 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
I love directors who talk action as opposed to emotion.
William H. Macy
We always want to see people strive and see the human spirit triumph against adversity. That's what it's all about because that's what we're doing. We're trying to triumph in our lives.
William H. Macy
The only people who do plays in LA are people who can't get jobs in TV shows.
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 think acting is getting better and better.
William H. Macy
Ninety percent of the preparation we do as actors is just jive. It doesn't do anything.
William H. Macy
It's hard on an actor when you have to do a scene 45 times and you know damn well that three of the angles a director is shooting will never make it into the movie.
William H. Macy
Nothing else counts except what you want.
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
One's complete sentences are attempts, as often as not, to complete an incomplete self with words.
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
Another mistake a director can make is not to be prepared, so you get there on the day to shoot the scene, and they don't know how it should be blocked, and they're not clear on how they want to do a scene.
William H. Macy
I have a tendency to say 'yes' to a script or no to a script. Not 'yes' based on a rewrite.
William H. Macy
Shameless is a rough show, and it’s not for everyone, but it’s also beautiful.
William H. Macy
I'm not much of a preparer. I think sometimes as an actor you need to go out and learn some skills, but in terms of preparation for understanding the character, it's all on the page, and if it's not on the page, you're in trouble.
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'm sure I have a process, but it mostly takes place in my dreams.
William H. Macy
Yeah, I made it. It sneaks up on you. You're some schmuck and you wake up one day and you go, Good God, I'm the cheese.
William H. Macy
I loved Batman, don't get me wrong, but that kind of mindless violence is not good for young children.
William H. Macy
