More quotes by Ray Liotta
I would like to do a lot more of it, I feel comfortable with it and basically it's all in the writing. I'm not a personality type actor, I need a good script in order to be funny, but it's definitely something that I like doing.
Ray Liotta
The Rat Pack was the piece that really kicked me out of that little funk that I was in and then Ted called me up and asked me if I wanted to be the dad in Blow.
Ray Liotta
I was on a soap opera before that for three years, where I was the nicest guy on earth.
Ray Liotta
I really believe that you never stop learning.
Ray Liotta
I just - you know, some people just have some very full laughter - full of joy - and have no shame or fear of letting that out.

Man, I did love this game. I'd have played for food money... I used to love traveling on the trains from town to town. The hotels... brass spittoons in the lobbies, brass beds in the rooms. It was the crowd, rising to their feet when the ball was hit deep. Shoot, I'd play for nothing!
Ray Liotta

There are a lot of actors who will watch the monitors. They'll do a scene, and then the director will look back to see if he got whatever he wanted. I just find it odd to sit there and watch yourself. But if you can be objective, I can see how it's really useful as a tool, especially if you're doing something physical.
Ray Liotta
Suddenly playing the charming bad guy was my thing.
Ray Liotta
It would be nice to do a movie where I didn't have to choke the girl to get her.
Ray Liotta
I've done a few movies where I really liked the project, but I wasn't sure about the director, and I still did it and my instinct was right, in the beginning. Even though it was a good story, the guy still didn't really know what he was doing.
Ray Liotta
I'm a big believer that the script is your bible.
Ray Liotta
I played pretend games as a kid, army, whatever, but I never wanted to be an actor.
Ray Liotta
I didn't like some of the movies that were coming into me
Ray Liotta
If I think something's funny, I think it's funny.
Ray Liotta
The script - and a good one - tells you everything that you need to know.
Ray Liotta
I'm not a proponent of people watching a movie, and then going out and doing something bad. People have been doing bad things, well before movies.
Ray Liotta
The best way to learn anything is through a movie, because you have so much time to do it and you have great people teaching you.
Ray Liotta
It is more difficult to maintain friendship with people that you work with five minutes ago, than from many years ago. For some reason we've just remained friends, we talk to each other all the time. For a while, for years, we spent New Year together.

I just know what it's like being an East Coast person, being from New Jersey.
