Armand Assante Quotations

I've worked for 27 years nonstop in theater and films. That's a lot of work.

Literature is air, and Im suffocating in mediocrity.

I don't champion the idea of being in a Hollywood movie. I never had fun in one of them

You love what you do, you are cursed with it, and then you get known for being cursed with it

The Italian gangster thing has become a form of the modern-day Western

I never pursued Hollywood banging my drum, because I was never in a film big enough to do that

I live a very quiet life, although I'm very urban and a diehard New Yorker

I stopped courting Hollywood a long time ago

I never pursued a career relentlessly

It's a blessing and a curse. But it's not always the best situation to be in. As a profession, I don't recommend acting at all.
