I think it magnified it. For me, I wasn't sheltered so I think it was magnified. Especially when you're a teenager and you go to high school and you're in the business and you are known.

It doesn't matter if a critic pans or praises my movies, I am only concerned about that one audience member and what their experience is.

I'm 100 percent Irish by birth, grew up Italian, and yet I constantly get cast as playing Jewish.

It doesn't matter what medium I perform, I just love to perform in general, if it's good work.

But especially if you have the wrong people within your circle. Truthfully, at the end of the day, no one cares about you in this business whether they are your agent or your manager or your publicist.

I will say that my personal business is my personal business. And I will leave it at that.

There’s a fear that grasps each individual and what they think is right and what they think is wrong.
