William H. Macy’s 5 most popular quotes
- Nobody became an actor because he had a good childhood.

- When I lived in New York, I supported myself by doing commercials. Mostly I auditioned. Once in a blue moon, I would actually book one.
- I can’t cook to save my soul. Every once in a while I’ll cook something that’s really good. And if you put a gun to my head, I couldn’t repeat it.
- It’s not the actor’s job to be funny, it’s the writer’s job. It’s the actor’s job to be truthful, and then the humor will come out.
