Joe Pesci Quotes:
  • “I couldn't get any jobs, and when that happens, you get so humble it's disgusting. I didn't feel like a man anymore -- I felt really creepy. I was bumping into walls and saying, "Excuse me".”
  • “From being an actor as a kid, I think I just pick up things from people. I'll hawk from everybody pretty much.”
  • “If I could relive most of my life, I'd enjoy the bad times and the lean times I had. I was always dreaming about how wonderful it would be to be successful. It made me miserable.”
  • My daughter is the one really great thing that came out of my early life. I'm a good father now. I wish I'd been a good one back then.
  • “I've given my whole life to show business. I'd like to find out about another part of life, a more relaxing and spiritual part and a more enjoyable part.”
  • “Nowadays, in love scenes in the movies, they don't hold anything back and they just rip into each other. I never really went in for that kind of filmmaking about love. I think love is deeper than that.”
