I'm really proud of the writing on Door to Door, and I think that's the Emmy that meant the most - the writing. (William H. Macy)
When I watch a film I get swept away. I don't really watch the camera.

It started with the Godfather, this operatic violence. I don't know.

I don't understand it completely ... but she adores me. She thinks I'm funny.

It's a cute acting trick, this whispering, mumbling thing. I realised a long time ago, when people are mumbling or whispering they're either talking about sex, or money, or lying. So if you're not doing that, you'd better speak up.

I think it's possible to be too quick-witted, too smart to be an actor. You have to turn off a lot of your brain, in a way. When you see a fellow actor just missing it, it's hard to keep your mouth shut, but you have to. Or see a director so stupid he couldn't direct vomit into a paper bag. And he's in charge, and it's really hard to keep your mouth shut.
William H. Macy
I do them all for the money, I really do. (William H. Macy)
When Fargo came out, I hired a publicist for the first time in my life. I thought, if ever I was going to make it, that was then.
