The top 10 most inspiring quotes by William Sadler
- People quote lines to me all the time. I’m always surprised – everybody has a favorite movie, and they’re always different. I’m always shocked. People stop me on the street and throw lines at me from ‘Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight’ and ‘Deep Space Nine.’ ‘Shawshank’ happens a lot because they play it so much on TV.
- It used to annoy and frustrate me to have to come in and audition. I would say to my agents, ‘Haven’t they seen this film and this film and this film? They know what I look like… They must.’ Until I directed an episode of ‘Roswell.’ And all of a sudden, I realized why that was such an important thing.
- I’m not so bothered by the audition process anymore; in fact, I use it. It’s a time for the actor to actually get to the know the director and the producers a little bit, too.
- I love doing comedy, and I don’t get a chance to much. I get to play lots of serious people, and killers, and people with a lot of… sheriffs. Good people and bad people, but lots of drama, and to get a chance to be genuinely silly is a great treat for me.
- If I have a better idea, I say, ‘Can we try one like this?’ I try not to step on writers’ toes, but ninety-nine percent of the time, it ends up in the movie, and sometimes it’s the line that everyone remembers and quotes from the movie.
- Maybe I don’t take myself quite as seriously as I used to, but the work has gotten better and more interesting, and I’m just having more fun. It’s getting more and more fun with each role.
- I love doing comedy, and I don’t get a chance to much. I get to play lots of serious people and killers and people with a lot of… sheriffs.
- I guess I would model myself after the Bill Condons, the Frank Darabonts and the David Nutters if I were to direct a feature, which I would love to do, by the way.
- You often hear this about directors, how it’s like having the best set of toys. This fabulous train set, the biggest box of toys that a kid could possibly have. The best directors look like a kid having more fun than you’re supposed to have.
