Quotes by Alessandro Nivola

I started off as an actor thinking that I would be this Romeo, this dashing leading man. It turns out that I’m a character actor.

Well, I’ve never been in a touring rock band, it was all just high school and college, playing toga parties in frat houses.

There are so many things that have to go right for a movie to be good that it’s a miracle whenever one is.

You have to be in movies that make money to be offered work. Basically that’s the equation. There’s no real way around that. That said, you don’t ever make decisions solely for that reason.

There are so many factors that go into how you feel, as a performer, on any given movie, that it’s really hard to identify which things are the things that help you be good, and which are the things that hinder you.
