More quotes by 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
I don't think I'm that much different from any other working actor that's trying to make a living.
Steve Buscemi
I was going to buy a van and move to LA so I could secretly pursue acting without any of my friends knowing.

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
Communication is the key, and it's one thing I had to learn-to talk to the actors. I was so involved with the visual and technical aspects that I would forget about the actors.
Steve Buscemi
Trees Lounge is based on my own life. Both my parents like the movie. My father, of course, thinks it's a masterpiece.
Steve Buscemi
It doesn't matter what part I play, I try and commit myself 100 percent.

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.
