More quotes by Steve Buscemi
I have a dresser, who literally is a guy who makes sure the tie is right. It's a little bit of a process. I could probably do it by myself, but it would take me three times as long.
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
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
I don't tend to think of the characters i play as losers. I like the struggles that people have, people who are feeling like they don't fit into society, because I still sort of feel that way.
Steve Buscemi
All the roles I play, I don't see any of my roles in films that they're typically leading men.

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
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
I was going to buy a van and move to LA so I could secretly pursue acting without any of my friends knowing.
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.
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
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
Every day's an adventure when I step out of my door. That's why I usually wear a hat and keep my head low.
Steve Buscemi
I like character-driven stuff. It doesn't matter, the size of the part.
Steve Buscemi
The trend now is to shoot in Canada because it's cheaper, and they don't care what the location is.
Steve Buscemi
Bob Altman had this relaxed but serious attitude. Everybody loved him. I wanted him to adopt me.
Steve Buscemi
I never made a daring rescue, which is the story people want to hear. I did go to my share of fires.
