About this Quote

This quote by Steve Buscemi speaks to the difficulty of breaking into the film market. At the beginning of his career, Buscemi was not being provided any commercial movies, and there was not yet an independent movie scene. This suggested that Buscemi needed to choose between pursuing industrial movies or independent films, however he was not being provided the opportunity to make that choice. Rather, he had to make the best of the situation and pursue independent films, as that was the only choice readily available to him. This quote talks to the value of perseverance and decision in the face of hardship, and how in some cases the only method to achieve success is to take advantage of the chances that are readily available.
