ADD QUOTES
- Steve Buscemi: (On playing Mr Pink in Reservoir Dogs) I talked with Quentin (Tarantino) about where the character came from, and he told me Kansas City. I don't know how somebody talks from Kansas City, so I made him from New York.
  Edit Share Hide
- Steve Buscemi: (On Armageddon) 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.
  Edit Share Hide
- Steve Buscemi: (On Quentin Tarantino) Quentin was so passionate and enthusiastic about what he was doing that it touched us all. We really wanted to do a good job for him.
