I love costumes. I love getting dressed up because it really helps my imagination make the leap to believe that I am who I say I am.
Alessandro NivolaI don't separate Robert DeNiro's comedy from the serious stuff. The one thing I realize working with him in all of his work, is that he doesn't do anything unless something happens to him in scenes - unless something happens to make him react. He never came in with a set idea of how he was going to do it, he never came in with guns blazing. He would just show up and wait to see what happened.
Alessandro NivolaA lot of the time with child actors, you get the feeling theyโre trying to have a kind of poise or presentation thatโs beyond their years that might be put on, but also might be because theyโve spent years just hanging out with adults and they donโt even have a sense of what itโs like to grow up with kids their own age.
