William H Macy Quotes

I think acting is getting better and better Picture Quote #1

I love directors who talk action as opposed to emotion Picture Quote #1

Actors are embracing a new aesthetic, which is leaning more toward truthful and simple and direct, as opposed to what we would normally call sitcom acting Picture Quote #1

To a certain extent. I’m a fan of rehearsal on the day [of the shoot], more than getting together a week beforehand Picture Quote #1

When I watch a film I get swept away. I don’t really watch the camera Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

It sure is boring to be around people who are in character all the time. I always find it’s closer to mental illness than acting excellence Picture Quote #1

It’s hard to be depressed around a ukulele. You just pick it up and you’re halfway home Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

We, in America, are so screwed up when it comes to sex. That’s all we can see Picture Quote #1

The character and the actor in a long-running series slowly become one. I think there must be funny stories about actors who, in the pilot for a TV series, did some weird thing with their eyes, or some speech impediment or something, and the next thing you know, it’s eight years later, and they’re still doing that freaking gag Picture Quote #1

I’m not religious. It’s an issue, ‘cause I’ve got two little kids, and I feel you can’t grow up without knowledge of religion Picture Quote #1

I do love comedy, but I’m not brave enough to tackle a script whose goal is to make you laugh. That’s tough. The ones that can do it, I tip my hat off to them, but I don’t have that kind of humor or mind Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The Spirit Awards are great too, they’ll say anything because they’re not televised. Another great drinking night Picture Quote #1

Oh yeah, that’s the Holy Grail, Pirates of the Caribbean. Johnny Depp, he’s the real deal, isn’t he? He doesn’t get the girl, and he doesn’t care Picture Quote #1

Everyone hooks up with George Clooney. He’s a genuinely cool guy. He’s using his powers for good Picture Quote #1

I’m a firm believer that character is highly overrated. Character is a trick that we do with the audience’s collusion Picture Quote #1

It’s a shame...you just don’t see young people doing anything outside these days Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

All that back-story stuff doesn’t help. What you get paid for is to stand toe-to-toe with the other actor and get him to do your will Picture Quote #1

You should know the lines, be prepared, get sleep, and have the script analyzed so you’re ready to rock and roll Picture Quote #1

That’s pretty much what every scene is about, getting people to see your point of view. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose Picture Quote #1

There are some older women out there who are just knockouts, real beauties, and they’re not getting the roles they should Picture Quote #1

A good actor’s director, first of all, is prepared, so there’s not an exorbitant amount of wasted footage Picture Quote #1

I feel like a lot of the young actors that are just coming up are really good. I think directors are directing better Picture Quote #1

A good director is very well prepared, and knows exactly how he’s going to cut the film, so the shooting is as efficient as possible Picture Quote #1

Somebody’s gotta stand up and say pubic hair is good, murder is bad. Sex is good, violence is bad Picture Quote #1
