Did you know I started out as a stand-up comic? People don't believe me when I tell them. That's how I saw myself, in comedy.

I learned to wrestle, I learned defensive fighting at a young age, because when someone hit me, I would throw up and fall down.

I was never very happy with performing; it didn't turn me on much.

I'm so shy now I wear sunglasses everywhere I go.

I'm much more a European Italian than I am an American Italian, and I've always felt that that style of acting comedy is in me. I put comedy as much as I can into all my movies, if I can help it.

I always tell the truth. Even when I lie.

I'm constantly striving to break through to something new. You try to maintain a neutral approach to your work, and not be too hard on yourself.
