William H. Macy's quotes
- Nobody became an actor because he had a good childhood.
- [on playing losers] When you do something well, they'll ask you to do it again. Early on I must have done this well and the reputation was out there. It's strange because in my life, I don't feel like a loser. Far from it. I feel lucky.
- For a performer to get rage, or to get hostility or shock or any kind of emotions from the audience is a joy. The thing I think actors fear the most is boredom or inattention. That's what kills me.
- When I lived in New York, I supported myself by doing commercials. Mostly I auditioned. Once in a blue moon, I would actually book one.
- I can't cook to save my soul. Every once in a while I'll cook something that's really good. And if you put a gun to my head, I couldn't repeat it.
- It's not the actor's job to be funny, it's the writer's job. It's the actor's job to be truthful, and then the humor will come out.
- They don't do movies of the week anymore. So I found myself looking for gainful employment. And about two years ago I decided I wanted to try television. My opinion is that the best stuff anywhere is on television right now. I just love it.
- I love Trenton [NJ] and I love to visit it frequently. It is my very favorite state capital.
