Ray Liotta Said

As soon as I became proactive in producing my own stuff, I started getting other roles.
Ray Liotta

I didn't like some of the movies that were coming into me.
Ray Liotta

I just finished Narc, which was a really heavy duty, raw, independent.
Ray Liotta

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

I mean, I understand that, I guess, it brings people to the movie, but I hope that I get really, really huge so that I don't have to do this anymore.
Ray Liotta

I think drug movies free the director to make intense films.
Ray Liotta

I think people like watching edgy things.
Ray Liotta

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.
Ray Liotta

I wanted to go that way and really get proactive with my career - take some control in it and redirect it in a direction that I liked.
Ray Liotta

I was looking to become more proactive with my career because I wasn't crazy with some of the scripts I was getting - this was before Blow and Hannibal - so I decided to start my own production company.
Ray Liotta

I was on a soap opera before that for three years, where I was the nicest guy on earth.
Ray Liotta

I'm getting older, I wanted to have that opportunity to play someone who goes from his twenties to someone dying of cancer in his sixties.
Ray Liotta

I've never stolen, I never did anything.
Ray Liotta

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

In college, I started out doing musicals and Shakespeare.
Ray Liotta

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

Not like Chinese food, where you eat it and then you feel hungry an hour later.
Ray Liotta

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

So, you need to balance it out with bigger and smaller movies.
Ray Liotta

Some movies you go to and you spend a lot of money between popcorn, parking, or the movie itself, and I really feel that this is worth its money.
Ray Liotta

Suddenly playing the charming bad guy was my thing.
Ray Liotta

The first script I got was Narc and I really responded to it; it reminded me of a '70s type movie, I really liked the characters, I didn't anticipate the ending.
Ray Liotta

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.
Ray Liotta

Today some actors get a little full of themselves about what they're doing.
Ray Liotta

Well, for Blow I had to age from 20 to 60, starting out in shape and then later putting on fat pads.
Ray Liotta

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

When I read Copland, I really wanted Stallone's part.
Ray Liotta

You could just do independent movies, but I like bigger kind of studio movies, at least some of them.
Ray Liotta

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

You know, it was a small, independent movie and with Paramount becoming involved, it was obviously a good thing, but you can't put a round peg in a square hole.
