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.
Quote by -Liev Schreiber
The worst bar fights I ever saw were in London. I saw a guy break a pint glass in another guy's face in a club in the Eighties. It was a gay club, too.
Quote by -Liev Schreiber
I remember finding 'Harold and Maude' strangely erotic. I've always had an octogenarian fetish.
Quote by -Liev Schreiber
It's finding time for each other. That's the trick to any relationship, you know. Finding time to really be present for each other.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Liev Schreiber
My mother didn't let me see color films. I saw a lot of black-and-white films. The first time I saw Basil Rathbone, I was completely taken. To me, that was the epitome of great acting, was Basil Rathbone - not only in Sherlock Holmes, but the Sheriff of Nottingham, and all the terrible characters he had to play alongside Errol Flynn.
Quote by -Liev Schreiber
We have to remember to respect the faith of people and maybe not the organizations or the groups that manifest around it.
Quote by -Liev Schreiber
The guy who kind of broke the story in 'Spotlight' was a priest, the guy who had sort of done all the research. One of the things he said when one of the 'Spotlight' reporters asked him how he could still remain a Catholic, he said that, 'My faith is in the eternal, and the church is an organization.'
Quote by -Liev Schreiber
I was always curious about motivation and intention, and really, that's a lot of what acting is. I was a little bit different.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Liev Schreiber
I had great teachers, great ensembles, and great companies to work with who supported my career.
Quote by -Liev Schreiber
I'm someone who started in the theater and really couldn't stand repeating the show. My favorite part of acting is the five or six weeks of rehearsal that you get. I like doing previews; I like the opening week because my friends and family come, and then after that, I don't want to do it anymore.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Liev Schreiber
You hear different things from different people, and they're all valid: they're all valuable. I think that's what comprises a performance is all those ideas.
Quote by -Liev Schreiber
Everyone says villains are thankless parts, but those are really the best roles.
Quote by -Liev Schreiber
My grandfather was raising me, and in many respects, I was trying to understand what it meant to be a man. He was my role model.
Quote by -Liev Schreiber
I really never thought I was that good at film. And honestly still don't. My strength is language. My background is monologues and a certain kind of Brechtian spin on theater.
Quote by -Liev Schreiber
I think it's really, really important to mix it up as an actor, to try to get as much kind of varied experience as you can, not only for your own personal growth as an actor but for the audience to keep them guessing about what you're going to do.
Quote by -Liev Schreiber
Well, I don't think I've ever been a huge target for the press, and I value that to a degree, because there's a certain value for actors staying beneath the radar so they can play characters.
Quote by -Liev Schreiber
Part of what I enjoy about the theatre and acting is that sense of history.
Quote by -Liev Schreiber
I think that everything I've ever done at some point is part of someone else's legacy.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Liev Schreiber
Don't hit people; don't let it get you too angry; remember that everything you do can and will be used against you. And take a breath and have some perspective.
Quote by -Liev Schreiber
I'm actually a very bad surfer, which is good because everybody likes a bad surfer. Nobody likes a good surfer.
Quote by -Liev Schreiber
I am very good with dialects, but the two that I can't do for some reason are the South African and Australian.
Quote by -Liev Schreiber
Film is such a bizarre vehicle for acting. It's such a bizarre experience. I don't think you ever really get familiar with it. If you do get familiar with it, you're probably not that good anymore.
Quote by -Liev Schreiber
That's one of the benefits of working on big budget films. You work with people who have a lot of experience and you get to learn a lot.
Quote by -Liev Schreiber
As soon as you know what you're doing, you're doing it wrong. That's what I find with acting. As soon as it becomes padded, it becomes pat.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Liev Schreiber
I think New York will always be this incredible international crossroads, and I don't think that will ever change.
Quote by -Liev Schreiber
The funny thing is that I write and I act a lot about being Jewish, but I don't really think about it as a regular person.
Quote by -Liev Schreiber
I actually loved Winnipeg. Everyone told me I was going to hate it, but it was great.
