Making a mistake means overshooting a scene, shooting too many takes, for instance. Long after you've got it, you just keep shooting.

More quotes by William H. Macy
I'll tell you this about the Oscars - they're real.
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
Ultimately, a more experienced director realizes that you've got to stop sometime and just move on. They're braver about that.
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
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
When I watch a film I get swept away. I don't really watch the camera.
William H. Macy
Writers love to write those idiotic, long stage directions, and some of them worse than others. They have nothing to do with the movie. They're just jerking around.
William H. Macy
I'm really proud of the writing on Door to Door, and I think that's the Emmy that meant the most - the writing.
William H. Macy
I'm sure I have a process, but it mostly takes place in my dreams.
William H. Macy
Nothing else counts except what you want.
William H. Macy
The only reason an indie gets made is because someone has a burning passion to do it and won't take no for an answer, as opposed to a big film, which is like a train that starts rolling down the tracks and nothing can stop it.
William H. Macy
I was a dog in a past life. Really. I'll be walking down the street and dogs will do a sort of double take. Like, Hey, I know him.
William H. Macy
We, in America, are so screwed up when it comes to sex. That's all we can see.
William H. Macy
Directors work 10 times harder than anyone else. Get paid a quarter.
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
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.
William H. Macy
So much of the violence in the movies is b.s. violence: A guy in the middle of a large city with 14 people lying on the ground that he's just killed with his superhuman powers, and there's not a cop to be found. Not a siren to be heard. No price to be paid. That's not true, and I don't like that sort of stuff.
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
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
