Barry Levinson is such a deceptive director, because he seems really lackadaisical. I'd never worked with him before, and I almost got the impression that he didn't really care that much because he was so laid-back. Sometimes we'd finish filming hours before the day was over, which is just unthinkable in any other film experience I've had. I couldn't believe that Barry had the passion for it.
Alessandro NivolaYeah, Iโve played a lot of instruments, and I played in a lot of bands growing up and Iโve even had to play music in a lot of films that Iโve done.
Alessandro NivolaI 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 NivolaYou're making these movies for pennies, there's absolutely nothing to offer anybody, and they will still fight you! "There's no more back-end for him? Well he'll have your back-end! He'll take your first born child!" Producing is totally exhausting.
