Do you think god stays in heaven because he too lives in fear of what he's created here on earth?

I don't think I'm that much different from any other working actor that's trying to make a living.
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.

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
I didn't think I'd ever be able to do movies. That was for serious actors.
Steve Buscemi
It doesn't matter what part I play, I try and commit myself 100 percent.
Steve Buscemi
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.
Steve Buscemi
I did stand-up. I loved George Carlin and Steve Martin.
Steve Buscemi
I've had dentists who have wanted to help me out, but I say, 'You know, I won't work again if you fix my teeth.'

Directing television is really hard - it's so fast. You shoot an hour show in seven days.
Steve Buscemi
I like telling stories about people with problems. I can't really put it much simpler than that.
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 ... ?
