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 was going to buy a van and move to LA so I could secretly pursue acting without any of my friends knowing.
Steve Buscemi
All the roles I play, I don't see any of my roles in films that they're typically leading men.

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.
