Ray Liotta

When I found out Cusack was involved, I liked that a lot.

I love acting. It's an interesting challenge to make something that doesn't exist appear like it's happening, and to do it in a real way.

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 know when I go to a movie I want to experience something, whether to laugh, to cry, to feel bad.

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.

I've only been in one fight in my whole life... in 7th grade, yet everyone thinks I'm a maniac.

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.

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.

So I decided to form a production company with my wife and our partner Diane.

People have all these preconceptions about me. Whereas if you look at the roles, Henry Hill was the nicest guy in 'Goodfellas!' I was a nice guy too in the comedy 'Heartbreakers.' And I was a really sweet father to Johnny Depp in 'Blow!'

My wife read Narc as well and was really into it.

You don't do anything thinking that it's going to stick.
