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
The only people who do plays in LA are people who can't get jobs in TV shows.
William H. Macy
Nothing else counts except what you want.
William H. Macy
One's complete sentences are attempts, as often as not, to complete an incomplete self with words.
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
Women, in order to recharge their batteries, gather in groups. They can recharge their batteries with their sisters. I tend to recharge my batteries in solitude, therefore the motorcycle trips. I need to be alone. As a matter of fact, I have to be careful. I could turn into a hermit.
William H. Macy
I don't know if it's fair to say that it's a bad time for movies. It seems to me that throughout the entire history of filmmaking, every year there have been about two really wonderful movies, about 10 others that are pretty good, and a whole pile of garbage.
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
It started with the Godfather, this operatic violence. I don't know.
William H. Macy
If I like the story and it's well written, and it's a character I want to play and they'll pay me, then I decide to do it.
William H. Macy
It's hard to be depressed around a ukulele. You just pick it up and you're halfway home.
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
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
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
I've always felt that, no matter where you go, people are just people.
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'm getting bigger roles, and I'm on location more, and I have a wife and family. I'd rather work less, and I've started to implement that. It was either that or my wife would break my heart.
William H. Macy
I love making movies, I love the differentness of it, I love writing. But I've always liked television. I grew up on television.
William H. Macy
You have to do whatever you can to limit the things that could make you feel insecure.
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
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
