I'm with people all the time so I often go away on my own.

I started dancing before I could talk. Other babies learn to stand and then walk - I just danced.

In reality, nobody gets successful in America by being lazy.

My parents wanted me to work in a bank or as an accountant.

In America they like my spicy TV alter ego, probably because there were a lot of Italians and Hispanics in the country, but the real L.A. life is a hard-working one.

I think a lot of people have a vision of L.A. in which TV executives and movie directors plan their latest productions by the swimming pool.
