Italian-Americans are not the Mafia.

Please, if you're making a movie, start out with a good script, at least! Please!

I thought that if no one was going to give me a great part - and it was very difficult to break into film, obviously - then I'd write one myself.

The way I pick movies is, first, if the script is any good. Then, if the script is good, who else is in it, the director, the producer, all that. If you have all that, there's a chance the movie will be great. If the script isn't right, or the director or cast isn't right, you've got no shot in hell.

Yeah, I like to gamble.

I've always been successful. Now I'm famous and successful.

I like playing roulette, I like dice. I grew up with gamblers.
