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.

More quotes by 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.

In the summer of 2009, I was at the Shakespeare lab at the public theater in New York.

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 don't think that necessarily I was encouraged by the nuns and the priest to consider alternate possibilities to the universe.

It's because you have no power. You give them all the material and the cinematographer, the director, the editor, boy what they can choose... You better hope they like you because they can slice and dice and make you look like a damn fool when your face and body are up there on a 30-foot screen.
William Mapother
I was an English major, so I love discussing possibilities and alternate theories.

I guess every actor has certain emotions they can access easier than others.

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
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
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 feel honored to be a part of something that provided people with entertainment and that inspired conversations. I feel very, very fortunate.
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
I love classical music and often listen to symphonies or opera in the morning.
William Mapother
Every actor has their own method, so I'm not suggesting what works for me will work for everybody else.
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.

I can be a bit of a science geek. I tend more towards reading about brain science, neuroscience.
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
Generally a wise actor will be very careful about the person to whom he gives that power.
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.
