More quotes by 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.

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?

My real training as an actor was when I started doing theatre.
