    • William H. Macy: (on his high school years) I graduated in '68, right in the middle of the hippie movement. I was never a leader, but we were sure we could stop the war and get rid of Nixon. And we took a lot of drugs. Mostly just smoked dope…and LSD for a year or two. I ate that stuff like candy. (Maxim, July 2001, interview by Robert Abele)
    • William H. Macy: (on whether he feels like he plays wackos and losers) After Fargo, which was life-changing for me, I was afraid that would be the role I played for the rest of my life. But I have enough tricks up my sleeve to play a variety of characters. (TV Guide Magazine; July 17-23, 2006)
    • William H. Macy: (paraphrasing David Mamet) Nobody became an actor because he had a good childhood. (Interview by Daniel Robert Epstein; December 5, 2003)
