Bob Altman had this relaxed but serious attitude. Everybody loved him. I wanted him to adopt me.
Steve Buscemi
I didn't think I'd ever be able to do movies. That was for serious actors.

Character actors just pile up the credits because you work on a movie for like a few days. It's not like I'm the lead in everything I do - far from it. I'm not spending three or four months on a picture I'm spending three or four weeks. Sometimes three or four days.

I was going to buy a van and move to LA so I could secretly pursue acting without any of my friends knowing.

Steve Buscemi
I never made a daring rescue, which is the story people want to hear. I did go to my share of fires.
Steve Buscemi
I suppose things are better now, but ... I don't know. People still hate each other, they just know how to hide it better.
Steve Buscemi
I never did improv professionally, but that was certainly in my training as an actor. I like it.
Steve Buscemi
It doesn't matter what part I play, I try and commit myself 100 percent.
Steve Buscemi
Every day's an adventure when I step out of my door. That's why I usually wear a hat and keep my head low.
Steve Buscemi
I did stand-up. I loved George Carlin and Steve Martin.
Steve Buscemi
What if I told you insane was working fifty hours a week in some office for fifty years at the end of which they tell you to p*ss off ending up in some retirement village hoping to die before suffering the indignity of trying to make it to the toilet on time? Wouldn't you consider that to be insane?
