Stanley Tucci

[Hollywood] studios are handing out money to make independent films now, but they all want the same thing.

As soon as the actor steps into the role, you probably can cut 50% of the lines because there’s a person there now. And what a person does with their eyes, with their mouth, with their hands, the way they walk into a room, you can probably cut half the scene.
