“ Bob Altman had this relaxed but serious attitude. Everybody loved him. I wanted him to adopt me. ”
There’s something about being naïve. Really interesting things come because you don’t know what the rules are, what you can and can’t do.
~ Steve Buscemi
There's a certain type of character that you can't help but come in contact with growing up and living in Brooklyn and Long Island. A certain mixture of moxie, heart, and a wise guy sense of humor.
I read the script and decide if a particular character looks fun to play. I look for complexity and a sense of humor. Those are crucial, real things to life.
I just like playing interesting, complex, complicated characters. I like films that also have an element of humor.
