Liev Schreiber's quotes

  • It's not easy being 6' 3" and being called 'Huggy'. - on the nickname he's had since childhood.
  • Style, no matter how outrageous it is, is still an expression of someone's personality. And my personality is somewhere stuck in the classics.
  • You can think about your career or you can think about your job. I like to think about my job.
  • It's good to overexpose yourself with work. But don't expose yourself too much with the press.
  • I am so used to being able to express myself from being an actor. So when people don't understand me, I'm just completely lost.
  • Everyone assumes that novelists are smarter and more interesting. They're generally smarter and more interesting, but they're often very short. So it kind of cancels all the smart and interesting stuff out.
  • "When I'm doing classical theater, I feel engaged and all pistons running and like I'm on new territory, because the size of it is so much bigger and the scope so much broader." - to Variety (05/1999)
  • People always pronounce it Leave. I walk into a casting person's office and the first thing I usually hear is 'Leave!'
  • I have Slavic fat pads that make me look like a chipmunk and arched predatory eyebrows. With that, you're not going to get funny. That's why I play so many bad guys.
