Famous quotes by Steve Buscemi:

"It's weird; I was not a really tough guy in high school, but I end up playing all of these psychopaths and criminals. I don't really care who they are, as long as they are complicated and going through something that I can understand and put across."

"I don't tend to think of these characters as losers. I like the struggles that people have, people who are feeling like they don't fit into society, because I still sort of feel that way."

"They're not thinking of how it's going to please a mass audience, ... They're really writing it for themselves, and trusting there's an audience out there for what they have to say. Whenever you make a film, there's always compromises you have to make just to get it made, but you really have to ask yourself, 'How much am I willing to compromise to get it up on screen?' and at what point do the compromises mean that you're not really making the movie you wanted to make."

"creativity and independent vision."

"In the beginning, it wasn't even a question of deciding I'm going to do independent film and not commercial films - I wasn't being offered any commercial films, and there wasn't an independent scene."

"When I was a fireman I was in a lot of burning buildings. It was a great job, the only job I ever had that compares with the thrill of acting. Before going into a fire, there's the same surge of adrenaline you get just before the camera rolls."

"My favorite review described me as the cinematic equivalent of junk mail."

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

"With Animal Factory you'd think that because it's mostly interiors, you could shoot it anywhere. So we shot this in Philadelphia, and we had the cooperation of the prison system."

"I'm terrible at story and structure, but I'm not so bad at writing dialogue."

"When I was in pre-production for Trees Lounge, I was hearing the cinematographer talking with the production designer about colours and this and that, and feeling like I was losing control."

"Directing television is really hard - it's so fast. You shoot an hour show in seven days."

"I never made a daring rescue, which is the story people want to hear. I did go to my share of fires."

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

"My greatest hope was to get discovered as a comedian and get on a sitcom."

"I was going to buy a van and move to LA so I could secretly pursue acting without any of my friends knowing."

"The first movie I had a featured role in was Parting Glances."

"Communication is the key, and it's one thing I had to learn-to talk to the actors. I was so involved with the visual and technical aspects that I would forget about the actors."

"What was frustrating about Armageddon was the time I spent not doing anything. It was a big special effects film, and I wasn't crazy about pretending I was in outer space. It feels ridiculous."

"Bob Altman had this relaxed but serious attitude. Everybody loved him. I wanted him to adopt me."
