Stanley Tucci

Stanley Tucci
I think everybody has a little bit of an asshole inside of them.
Stanley Tucci
I'd read Up in the Old Hotel, and I wanted to do something with Mitchell's stuff for a long time.
Stanley Tucci
What's great is when you're working with somebody with whom you have a connection, it's exciting because there's a shorthand and you trust each other and you have a good time together on the set and so you can go a little farther than you might normally because you're with somebody that you trust.
Stanley Tucci
A dream that you don't fight for can haunt you for the rest of your life.
Stanley Tucci
I never go overbudget on my movies.
Stanley Tucci
As a director you have to be careful you don't over-design the film. You have to be careful that the period aspect does not take over.
