Stanley Tucci

If you find that thing you love, it doesn't necessarily matter whether you do it well or not-you just need to do it.

I've always considered myself an actor first and foremost.

My late wife - she died of cancer. We tried everything we could do to save her. I wish that I could have done more and that I could have been with her at the moment she passed away. I couldn't be in that room because I knew it would be so devastating that I wouldn't be able to take care of the kids after.

As a director you have to be careful you don't over-design the film. You have to be careful that the period aspect does not take over.

Sometimes it's difficult directing yourself on film because you can't quite separate yourself from the subject.

A dream that you don't fight for can haunt you for the rest of your life.
