The interview showcases Nivola's bold statements and offers a glimpse into his mindset as a rising actor in a competitive industry.
I didn't get my dad's agent to call up so-and-so. I did it by myself. I didn't want to give anyone an excuse to be able to say that anything I've achieved has been because of anyone other than me.
Other than my genes, I don't think I can attribute much of my success to my parents. I feel proud that I've done it for myself, and sometimes in spite of them.
The old movie stars are getting plastic surgery, and they're looking younger and they're staying young. You have these really old people playing young roles.
