More quotes by Steve Buscemi

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
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
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 hope I don't make it sound like it's this big to-do, but even putting on real cufflinks takes work.
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
Nothing's really changed for me over the years. I like telling stories about people with problems. I can't really put it much simpler than that. Relationships are interesting to me. Not just between men and women but fathers and sons, brothers and sisters and friends.
Steve Buscemi
I can't relate to 99% of humanity.
