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
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

Steve Buscemi
Directing television is really hard - it's so fast. You shoot an hour show in seven days.
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
It doesn't matter what part I play, I try and commit myself 100 percent.
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 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
Just because people want to eat the burger doesn't mean they want to meet the cow.
Steve Buscemi
I didn't think I'd ever be able to do movies. That was for serious actors.
Steve Buscemi
I never did improv professionally, but that was certainly in my training as an actor. I like it.

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.
