Quote

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.

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
Image
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
Image
To a certain extent. I'm a fan of rehearsal on the day [of the shoot], more than getting together a week beforehand.
William H. Macy
Image
I don't watch rushes. My whole thing is to try to stay in the moment with the other actor, and to let it all hang. I'm not sure I'm right on that, though.
William H. Macy
Image
Perhaps there is such a thing as obscene sex, but I know that violence is always obscene. So I don't get it, that you can disembowel a woman but you can't see her tits. Who made that up? That's sick!
William H. Macy
Image
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
Image
That red carpet has to be felt to be believed.
William H. Macy
Image
We thought sex was free. Sex is not free. There's a price to be paid emotionally, physically, even legally. Sex isn't a casual thing. It's a huge thing.
William H. Macy
Image
I'm sure I have a process, but it mostly takes place in my dreams.
William H. Macy
Image
You should know the lines, be prepared, get sleep, and have the script analyzed so you're ready to rock and roll.
William H. Macy
Image
When a director makes a mistake, people suffer. People suffer horribly sometimes.
William H. Macy
Image
Sometimes, directors are afraid to stop shooting, because the second you stop and say, We got it, and move on, you'll never get another chance. And they're terrified to get in the cutting room and not be happy. So they just keep shooting.

A favorite cast? Lisa Kudrow, Anthony Hopkins, Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman, and my wife.

Image
Here are the good things about independent films: They do the more interesting, chancy scripts. They're run by love.
William H. Macy
Image
A good actor's director, first of all, is prepared, so there's not an exorbitant amount of wasted footage.
William H. Macy
Image
We must admit that it is quite common that people do have affairs with their leading ladies and men.

Image
It started with the Godfather, this operatic violence. I don't know.
William H. Macy
Image
I feel very secure about the role of the actor in the future. They need us, because stories are about people.
William H. Macy
Image
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.

Image
Directing is a huge amount of work with very little payoff, and a quarter of the money, and nine times more time spent.
