It's pretty simple, pretty obvious: that people's first impressions of people are really a big mistake.
— Vincent D'Onofrio
This haunting idea of becoming a celebrity doesn't settle well with me at all.
The only thing I do worry about is that the more films I do the more visible I am going to become as a personality because of press and because of the sheer quantity of films.
What kind of recognition do I deserve? I don't deserve any recognition.
With Altman, he does discuss everything with you, but then leaves you to it and gives you full rein and lets you improvise and create a character while the camera is rolling.
The more you are known, the more difficult it is to hide behind characters.
I'll be working the rest of my life because I'm a character actor and don't have to worry about box office.
Then I did Mystic Pizza, just to do something I wasn't fat in.
Like De Niro. He's one of the best character actors we have ever had.
And I have been able to establish this sort of decent reputation as being a decent character actor.
