I always had this thing, when I was younger especially, I didn't want to do movies that much. I found they took a lot out of you and they were exhausting for me in a lot of ways.

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

I found out how temperamental I am, yes. And that sometimes that can be kind of off-putting.

It would be hard to play a character you don't like - for me anyway - or can't find something in them to like.

My movies are always being played on television, I'm very well known and all that stuff - I go all over the world, I have access to many things, many people, many places and it's wonderful. But now I'm at a point where...I thought it was time to show some of it, to show some of my feelings about things and what I preferred at the time. I prefer them still but not to the extent I did at the time.

I want to be interesting in an interview just as much as I want to do well in a part.

In America most everybody who's Italian is half Italian. Except me. I'm all Italian. I'm mostly Sicilian, and I have a little bit of Neapolitan in me. You get your full dose with me.
