Michael Shannon quotes - page 2
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.
Michael Shannon
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.
Michael Shannon

Michael Shannon

Michael Shannon

Michael Shannon

Michael Shannon

Michael Shannon
I like to play characters that get to do it all - to have a bit of comedy here and a bit of pathos here and a bit of suspense here, that's what's fun.
