Steve Buscemi
I feel my life has more meaning because I am responsible for another life, although I don't have control over what Lucian - my son - is going to do. He's definitely going to carve his own way.

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?
