I do want to do TV, but I'm looking to be a creator, writer, and producer, and perhaps I could be a recurring character. Do 10 shows a year, something like that.

More quotes by William H. Macy
I am against censorship in any form. I think anybody should be able to make any movie he or she wants and let the public decide. If it's disgusting and they don't want to see it, they won't go. I believe in the audience.
William H. Macy
You can skim those stage directions and go right to the dialogue. You can almost read the movie in the same amount of time it will take you to see the movie.
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
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
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 love directors who talk action as opposed to emotion.
William H. Macy
Just learn the whole script before you start shooting. That makes shooting a joy. Even if they rewrite, it's easy.
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
The best thing for an actor to do is take your attention off of how you feel about it, and put it on striving to obtain a particular objective. The happy result is that it brings out all this unexpected stuff in yourself.
William H. Macy
It’s a shame...you just don’t see young people doing anything outside these days.
William H. Macy
We, in America, are so screwed up when it comes to sex. That's all we can see.
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
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
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 think acting is getting better and better.
William H. Macy
When I was in New York, I was making a living. We had a summer house and a car that I could put in a garage. That's something for a stage actor.
William H. Macy
One of the things I did early on in film was over-enunciate and talk too loud.
William H. Macy
We all want to be 20 again and have that first sense of love.
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
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
