More quotes by William Mapother
I guess every actor has certain emotions they can access easier than others.
William Mapother
I can be a bit of a science geek. I tend more towards reading about brain science, neuroscience.
William Mapother
If you think about filmmaking as an entire spectrum, starting with the writer and ending with maybe the marketing department, the actor's contribution is a rather slender band.
William Mapother
I do like taking on responsibility, sometimes too much. But I was aware of that early on and it's something that came up in the previous set of interviews, and that is the actor‛s contribution.
William Mapother
I love classical music and often listen to symphonies or opera in the morning.
William Mapother
I write, and when see a movie in which it's supernatural, some other worlds, or some other aspect to our world that we're not aware of, and [they] don't explain what the rules are, that kind of stuff drives me crazy.
William Mapother
I went to Notre Dame. I don't know if that has any relevance, but maybe we all had a little too much philosophy and theology.
William Mapother
I feel honored to be a part of something that provided people with entertainment and that inspired conversations. I feel very, very fortunate.
William Mapother
So I'm here, and not being one for missed opportunities, I made a list of the casting directors in New York and mark off the ones I've already met over the years. The few remaining I asked my agent and manager, See if you can set up some meetings while I'm here.
William Mapother
I don't think that necessarily I was encouraged by the nuns and the priest to consider alternate possibilities to the universe.
William Mapother
I can be a bit of a science geek. I tend more towards reading about brain science, neuroscience. I was an English major, so I love discussing possibilities and alternate theories. Aside from the science aspect of it, the philosophical possibilities are so interesting.
William Mapother
I love sci-fi, especially when it thrives on a thought-provoking story, rather than explosions.
William Mapother
I've made a number of independent films that didn't receive theatrical distribution, that a lot of people haven't heard of, and as a result, I've conditioned myself to go into small independent films with the expectation that they will not, and therefore, I have to find my reward elsewhere.
William Mapother
I'm ready for conventions. You know what's interesting, the sort of questions that Lost raises are of a different sort from this movie. In other words, Lost is about figuring out the world of the show, whereas this one seems to raise questions about the world that we know. But I'm happy to entertain both.
William Mapother
One of the great things about having been on Lost is people coming up and feeling so enthusiastic about the show and saying, Oh it provided us so much entertainment, or It inspired conversations.
William Mapother
Well, you're in a theater and it's 24 shots a second, your face, your body, your voice, and it's your craft, the way you earn your living, and it's indelible. It's not like writing a script - I write as well - I can't do another draft, it's done.
William Mapother
Every actor has their own method, so I'm not suggesting what works for me will work for everybody else.
William Mapother
This is a horrid generalization, so I'll probably get hate mail from stockbrokers. I would have been forced to get back to work, and would have been less accustomed to being in touch with my feelings and allowing my feelings to drive my decisions and behavior.
William Mapother
In the summer of 2009, I was at the Shakespeare lab at the public theater in New York.
William Mapother
One of the advantages of shooting digitally was that we had a lot of time. When you shoot, even if you do a good performance, it may get lost in the editing room. It's just one more way that a potentially good film might go astray.
