More quotes by Steve Buscemi
I'm terrible at story and structure, but I'm not so bad at writing dialogue.
Steve Buscemi
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.

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?
Steve Buscemi
I like telling stories about people with problems. I can't really put it much simpler than that.
Steve Buscemi
Casting is everything. Getting the person that you imagined is this character and then seeing what they bring to it.That's why you hire them, so why tell somebody first what it is you want? I'm more curious to see what they bring to it and then be inspired by it and say: OK, what if you tried this? or What would happen if ... ?
Steve Buscemi
Oftentimes you'll see stuff that makes it into the mainstream that has been influenced by things that are clearly not from the mainstream.
Steve Buscemi

I like character-driven stuff. It doesn't matter, the size of the part.
Steve Buscemi
By nature, I think I am a pretty private person, and that is what is hard even doing interviews for films that I really love doing, because in some ways, it diminishes the experience that I had.
Steve Buscemi
My real training as an actor was when I started doing theatre.
