My family was all born in Sicily and I'm Italian-American. They're the real thing. They're authentic Italians, and honestly they're the most open-minded, nicest people in the world and nothing can really offend them. That's the way I think true Sicilians are.

I've always been in school plays and performing monologues and taking drama. Now I'm in acting clas-ses. I do it the real way. I want to be a working actor. I would love that. I just like being on a series and having a script, and I want that to be my nine-to-five.

I would love a recurring role on '90210.' I would say yes to just about any role in acting that doesn't tarnish my image.

I'm in my best shape when I'm really anxious, because I have to get to the gym. Physically I'm in the best shape.

I was a huge Spice Girls fan when I was a kid. When I was younger I had a Spice Girls poster on my wall and I watched the movie.

My house has always been like everyone's house. You walk in, you're a part of the family, no matter who you are, what celebrity status you are, everyone is treated the same - with love from my mom.

Partying isn't every aspect to my personality.
