Michael Shannon Quotes

I’m just kind of odd. There are dark forces in the world, and if you pay attention to what’s going on around you, you end up incorporating it into the storytelling. Maybe it’s some aspect of myself that’s coming through that people are seeing, that I am in fact a quiet psycho Picture Quote #1

I get pretty attached to the majority of the characters I play. I can’t help myself Picture Quote #1

The stage is a routine. It keeps you grounded, like a metronome. I find that soothing Picture Quote #1

I started acting because I was miserable and crazy and wanted to be someone else, to run around and scream in front of people without getting in trouble Picture Quote #1

$I’ve never worried about anything in my life a fraction of the way I worry about my daughter. It’s much more than hoping people like the play you’re in, or that your outfit doesn’t look bad. It’s the real deal Picture Quote #1$

There are certain ways of being that people don’t find acceptable or very pleasant in regular life, but you go out on stage and do pretty much the same thing and they find it spellbinding Picture Quote #1

One of the great things about acting is you can do things that in real life would get you in trouble. I think that’s something I figured out pretty early on Picture Quote #1

Well, I think anybody who’s had a baby can tell you that once you have a baby, they kind of become the main focus. I don’t think there’s gonna be a lot of room for anything else Picture Quote #1

You got to know what’s worth keeping and what’s worth letting go Picture Quote #1

I just keep working on things I like, and hope for the best. I hope people enjoy them Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been happy just to be working. It doesn’t really matter for me how many people are familiar with my name or my picture, or whatever Picture Quote #1

Honestly, as hard a profession as acting is, I think music is even harder. Acting, you’re like a leech, because someone else does the hard part for you. They write it for you, then the director tells you what to do. You really just need to know how to pay attention, follow instructions Picture Quote #1

I want to focus on each scene. I’m a real perfectionist, and I don’t want to feel like I didn’t consider every possible variation of a scene. I come from a theater background, so I’m used to a lot of repetition, and I’m used to really attacking something over and over and over again Picture Quote #1

Theater is the best. That’s where you get the work done. You just really get in there and figure something out about a story or a character or life or the world. That’s where magic stuff happens Picture Quote #1
