Steve buscemi

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

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

My favorite review described me as the cinematic equivalent of junk mail. I don't know what that means, but it sounds like a dig.

I don't think about the characters I choose to play, analytically or consciously.

I did stand-up. I loved George Carlin and Steve Martin.

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

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

All the roles I play, I don't see any of my roles in films that they're typically leading men.

My dad had a temper. I have a temper. Most people I know have a temper. And I think it comes out mostly with your family. I don't think it's unique to the Buscemis, but it's something I've been able...

It's great working with Steve Carell and Jim Carrey. Those guys are really funny.
