I did stand-up. I loved George Carlin and Steve Martin.
From Steve Buscemi
My greatest hope was to get discovered as a comedian and get on a sitcom.
I didn't really like the aloneness of doing stand-up.
My real training as an actor was when I started doing theatre.
The director I had most involvement with was Alex Rockwell. He gave me a lot of responsibility as an actor.
Directing television is really hard - it's so fast. You shoot an hour show in seven days.
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.
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.
It wasn't until my senior year in high school that I started acting.
I was going to buy a van and move to LA so I could secretly pursue acting without any of my friends knowing.
