If a guy likes you, he will not just fight for you. He will also fight the rest of the guys who were hoping to take his place.
As an actor, it's fun to play guys who aren't just locked into a male pattern, but a lot of guys you're asked to play are fairly macho and have a certain rigid standard they're living by.
I think a guy who's had just the right amount of booze can sing the blues a hell of a lot better than a guy who is stone sober.
The evil of storytelling is you're trying to make the audience complicit in murder - 'Kill the guy! Jump him!' And then once you've done it, it's like, 'I've killed this guy, now what?'
The reason girls can't find a good guy is because they look in the wrong places. Go to a library. Guys at a party are just looking for the next girl to fuck.
The interesting part of the process is developing the character, you know, why did he become that? Why is the guy a murderer, or why is this guy a pervert, or whatever he is. So that's the fun part for me to delve into the abyss.
I don't know about five guys against the world. It's more like five guys against these three chords, and we're gonna wrestle 'em down no matter what it takes.
I identify with this guy's frustration and inability to control his fury at moments. I even identify with the way that this guy covers up a lot with humour. So yeah, it's interesting.

Some guys can run fast, some guys can sing, I found I could take photographs that people were interested in.

I'm a nice guy, but not all the time. There are these personalities in me, so many of them. They come out at strange times. I can be one way, then five minutes later I'm another way.
I remember doing a little student film where we had a guy that couldn't pull focus. We ended up spending three times the amount of time shooting this thing as opposed to if the guy could've just pulled focus.
How do you grow up in the shadow of a guy - I want to talk about the movie in a second - but how do you grow up in the shadow of a guy who really is a legend in his own time?
I'm not pretty. The truth is I didn't think I could be a model at all. I was looking at some of the guys on the walls at Irene Marie and I thought to myself 'Jesus Christ. I can't do this. I don't look anything like these guys'.
Jay: Yo, you guys are gonna miss this shit! The big guy's gonna cornhole that ass! With his wiener! Becky: [to Dante] Hold that thought.
Carlito: Gimme your piece, Dave. David Kleinfeld: What? Carlito: Gimme the fucking gun! Since when are you a tough guy?
Billy Costigan: I mean the guy murdered somebody right? The guy fuckin' murdered somebody and you don't fuckin' take him!
Frank Costello: What we generally do - in this country... is one guy brings the items and the other guy pays him. No tickee, no laundry!
Sgt. Donny Donowitz: After I kill that guy, you have 30 feet to get to that guy. Can you do it? Pfc. Omar Ulmer: I have to.
Eddie Morra: You see that guy? That was me not so long ago. What kind of guy without a drug or alcohol problem looks this way? Only a writer.
