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.

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.

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 ... ?

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 usually get freaked out if I'm in a situation where a lot of people recognise me at once.

I feel my life has more meaning because I am responsible for another life, although I don't have control over what Lucian - my son - is going to do. He's definitely going to carve his own way.
Steve Buscemi
I'm terrible at story and structure, but I'm not so bad at writing dialogue.

Trees Lounge is based on my own life. Both my parents like the movie. My father, of course, thinks it's a masterpiece.

Whenever you do something that is in a continuous take, and something that we're not used to doing, because it was all in the details of if you don't make one move seem natural it can give away all of it.

What if I told you insane was working fifty hours a week in some office for fifty years at the end of which they tell you to p*ss off ending up in some retirement village hoping to die before suffering the indignity of trying to make it to the toilet on time? Wouldn't you consider that to be insane?

I like character-driven stuff. It doesn't matter, the size of the part.
