My mother and father told me I was god. I was a good Italian boy who hung out with the same four guys. I was a little god.

My mom was Sicilian, my dad was Sicilian. Mom was a great cook, but all the women were.

When you feel good about the work you're doing, that's what's important, not the budget or anything like that. If you're happy about the actors you're working with, that's what's important.

Oh, great reviews are the worst. They mislead you more than the bad ones, because they only fuel your ego. Then you only want another one, like potato chips or something, and the best thing you get is fat and bloated. I'd rather just refuse, thanks.

I never worried about becoming typecast. People have said that to me, but I never worried about it. As long as the part is three dimensional, I'm okay with it, whether the role is to play the heavy, the cop.

I came here knowing nobody. I worked clubs as a singer and even the doors a few times before I landed some TV roles.

I love people who just started making movies - first-timers, second-timers. They take chances.
