Steve Buscemi
Just because people want to eat the burger doesn't mean they want to meet the cow.

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 always find that it's when a script is not detailed, then I have to do more work as an actor.
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
