I hope I don't make it sound like it's this big to-do, but even putting on real cufflinks takes work.

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.

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 guess I don't think about age too much. I've always felt older than I really am anyway. I'm not dreading getting older. I don't miss the anxiety of being younger and not knowing what you want or where you’re going.
Steve Buscemi
I never made a daring rescue, which is the story people want to hear. I did go to my share of fires.

The trend now is to shoot in Canada because it's cheaper, and they don't care what the location is.

I did stand-up. I loved George Carlin and Steve Martin.

When I was a fireman I was in a lot of burning buildings. It was a great job, the only job I ever had that compares with the thrill of acting.
Steve Buscemi
I never did improv professionally, but that was certainly in my training as an actor. I like it.
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
Directing television is really hard - it's so fast. You shoot an hour show in seven days.
Steve Buscemi
I don't blame any director for wanting to do something more commercial. That's all part of the business. I certainly have done it, as an actor.
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.
