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

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.

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 had a 90-minute one-man show. I performed it and my life just exploded. Everything - my life just changed. Every writer, director, producer, studio head, movie star - they all wanted it. It was the hottest property since 'Rocky.'

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

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.
