Danh ngôn của Ray Liotta (Sứ mệnh: 4)

So, you need to balance it out with bigger and smaller movies.
I think that if you can achieve a balance, then you appease a lot of yourself and your career and what it takes to maintain in this business for a while.
You could just do independent movies, but I like bigger kind of studio movies, at least some of them.
The Rat Pack was the piece that really kicked me out of that little funk that I was in and then Ted called me up and asked me if I wanted to be the dad in Blow.
Well, for Blow I had to age from 20 to 60, starting out in shape and then later putting on fat pads.
I think drug movies free the director to make intense films.
I know when I go to a movie I want to experience something, whether to laugh, to cry, to feel bad.
Not like Chinese food, where you eat it and then you feel hungry an hour later.
I didn't like some of the movies that were coming into me.
I've only been in one fight in my whole life... in 7th grade, yet everyone thinks I'm a maniac.
What I really am is a homebody. I was a homebody even before I had a family. My days are filled with home stuff.
This is the profession I chose, and you really learn to save your money because you never know how it's going to go, but you still want to get out there and work.
Mafia guys are all just insecure people who want their money. They're like little seven-year old kids when they don't get their way. I knew guys like that growing up in New Jersey.
I get up at six to work out. I've done it since school, it's always been part of my life. It's a good way to take the edge off. I like getting up early; I've got a daughter, I'm a single dad.
My dad said, 'Go to college and take whatever you want.' So, I went to the University of Miami. When I got up to the line at registration, I saw that you had to take math and history. I said, 'There's no way I'm taking math and history.' And right next to it was the line for the drama department.
I haven't seen about half the movies I've done. You know, you've got to make a living, but some I don't get a good vibe with.
The independent-minded movies - it's always an uphill battle to get them made and seen. You do what you can, and go out there after and try to tell people about it, but at the end of the day, that's all you can do.
I think I had a kind of pause for insight in my 20s when I wasn't in a relationship and my career wasn't going the way I wanted it to go. I had time for reflection then.
I talk to my friends and, you know, they all seem to get relationships that aren't right. You kind of want someone who is not at your beck and call but loves the idea of being in a relationship and what that entails.
I feel I've done everything late in life. Got married late, and I didn't do my first movie until I was 31. But in this crazy business, you never know what's going to happen. Maybe after 20 years of making movies I'll become an overnight sensation.
