More quotes by 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 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
Every actor has their own method, so I'm not suggesting what works for me will work for everybody else.
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
I love sci-fi, especially when it thrives on a thought-provoking story, rather than explosions.
William Mapother
I was an English major, so I love discussing possibilities and alternate theories.
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
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
Look, we all know how hard it is for us to - I'm going to speak for myself - find a still photo of yourself that you like. Like how many times do people send photos and you're like, Oh burn it.
William Mapother
I guess every actor has certain emotions they can access easier than others.
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
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
One of the great things about film is that, typically anything that's introduced in the first five minutes, the audiences will by into.
William Mapother
In the summer of 2009, I was at the Shakespeare lab at the public theater in New York.
William Mapother
I would not call myself Catholic anymore, but I went to 16 years of Catholic school: grade school, high school and college.
William Mapother
If the question was did we want to delay the revelation?... Yeah, you want to delay it as long as possible because the audience knows that that moment is coming and you want to make them wait for it. They have to suffer a bit.
William Mapother
If you're going to do a guest spot on television, they need bodies on those procedural TV shows. You've got to keep working, and that's where a lot of the work is.
William Mapother
I love classical music and often listen to symphonies or opera in the morning.
William Mapother
I worked in script development, many years ago, and read a lot of scripts. Between that and the scripts I've read as an actor, and I'm a writer as well, I think I have a pretty good sense about whether the bones of a story are there and whether the structure is intact.
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.
