William H. Macy: (on his high school years) I graduated in ’68, right in the middle of the hippie movement. I was never a leader, but we were sure we could stop the war and get rid of Nixon. And we took a lot of drugs. Mostly just smoked dope…and LSD for a year or two. I ate that stuff like candy. (Maxim, July 2001, interview by Robert Abele)
(edit)
William H. Macy: (on whether he feels like he plays wackos and losers) After Fargo, which was life-changing for me, I was afraid that would be the role I played for the rest of my life. But I have enough tricks up my sleeve to play a variety of characters. (TV Guide Magazine; July 17-23, 2006)
(edit)
William H. Macy: (paraphrasing David Mamet) Nobody became an actor because he had a good childhood. (Interview by Daniel Robert Epstein; December 5, 2003)
(edit)
William H. Macy: (about the moral confusion of his generation) 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. (USA Weekend Magazine; October 23-25, 1998)
(edit)
William H. Macy: When you do something well, they'll ask you to do it again. Early on, I must have done this [playing losers] 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. (M-Net; "King of the Losers"; May 9, 2006)
