Any woman who marries an Italian must accept the undeniable fact that she has also married his mother.

My father said, If you want to do acting, you have to be successful, which is a silly thing to say.

I was a hard worker, and I always knew my lines.

Wherever the wings of love take me, that is my flare path and my way.

Once, the parental bed collapsed because all the children sat on it at once.

I got through my teen years by being a bit of a clown.

The most surprising thing for my mother and father was when I was actually earning more money than them by the time I was about 18. They thought I was going to be the ne'er do well, who they'd have to keep worrying about.
