Liev Schreiber Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Liev Schreiber:

You watch a hockey game, and the hand-eye coordination and the speed is really miraculous; how those guys track the puck alone, just following it with their eyes.

Theater is consistent. You ride your bike to work. You get most of the day off so you can see your kids. My problem is that after three months, I go mad. One of the reasons I never thought I could do a TV show is that I hate doing the same thing over and over again.

Liev Schreiber

There's the private persona and the public persona and the two shall never meet.

Liev Schreiber

My publicist told me not to talk about politics but, yes, I think we have a president who stole the election.

Liev Schreiber

No, I grew up admiring people who played ice hockey.

As soon as you know what you're doing, you're doing it wrong.

Liev Schreiber

You always have to create the character from the ground up.

Liev Schreiber

You'd think true masculinity was just calm and collected happiness. So alpha male that it needs not or worries not. But typically masculine characters are always fighting, and most violence comes from some agitated level of fear and anxiety.

Liev Schreiber

And you know, I hate to admit this, but I don't always think in terms of Shakespeare. When I eat, I do. When I'm at a restaurant, I'll think, 'Hmm, what would Macbeth have ordered?'

Liev Schreiber

I manage to hide in my movies.

Liev Schreiber

We have to remember to respect the faith of people and maybe not the organizations or the groups that manifest around it.

Liev Schreiber

No offense to the Canadians, but I believe location is like a character, and authenticity really matters. When you're in a place like New York or D.C., you just can't beat it, and it's so hard to recreate because they are both such distinctive places. I think it's pretty easy these days to tell films that are shot in Toronto.

Liev Schreiber

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.

Liev Schreiber

If you fall in love with somebody you're working with, fine, but wait till your project is over.

Liev Schreiber

I live with an 18-month-old Jack Russell named Chicken. He moved in about 15 months ago, and it was very hard at first because I work a lot and he doesn't.

Liev Schreiber

I think that everything I've ever done at some point is part of someone else's legacy.

Liev Schreiber

I didn't think that a career in theater was very realistic so I thought the only thing I could make money doing and still be somewhat artistic was, god help me, advertising.

Liev Schreiber

And I think for me there's a lot of neurosis involved with where you should be or thinking about where you are all the time instead of being where you are.

Liev Schreiber

I was always curious about motivation and intention, and really, that's a lot of what acting is.

Liev Schreiber

During 'Manchurian Candidate' - that role originated with Laurence Harvey, and I studied everything he did. I would never be able to reproduce that performance, but I got a lot of ideas from watching it.

Liev Schreiber

You can think about your career or you can think about your job. I like to think about my job.

Liev Schreiber

It's good to overexpose yourself with work. But don't expose yourself too much with the press.

Liev Schreiber

I was a writer. I just wasn't a very good one. I was lucky enough to have a playwriting teacher who told me that I'd be a better actor than I would a playwright.

Liev Schreiber

If I'm doing my job as an actor, the audience knows everything I know about the character.

Liev Schreiber

Some actors need to be rattled and some need to be focused.

Liev Schreiber

Style, no matter how outrageous it is, is still an expression of someone's personality. And my personality is somewhere stuck in the classics.

Liev Schreiber

I've got nothing against L.A. I think it is a really beautiful place. To be able to surf and get out in the Pacific Ocean every once in a while. The hiking, all of that is amazing. I love it there.

Liev Schreiber

Hamlet is a remarkably easy role. Physically it's hard because it tends to be about three hours long and you're talking the whole time. But it's a simple role and it adapts itself very well, because the thing about Hamlet is, we all are Hamlet.

Liev Schreiber

I've never been a heavy practitioner of the method or, at least, with any specific intent; I'm kind of an impulse-based person. Like, I'm sort of waiting for something to happen that I'm not expecting, and I kind of want to jump on that train of emotion, whatever it is, both from myself or from the other actor.

Liev Schreiber

The interesting thing about doing serial television is that the character is growing separate from you, the character and the show are growing, and you get to observe that and participate with it in a way that I think is actually really exciting for an actor.

Liev Schreiber

I really don't think there is anybody in the business with better eyes than Elijah Wood.

Liev Schreiber

You should never ask actors about politics.

I had great teachers, great ensembles, and great companies to work with who supported my career.

Liev Schreiber

I have the kind of face that people want to punch.
