I've always been more natural at doing hosting things: reading teleprompters, taking direction and ask-ing questions... I'm actually able to perform a little bit.

You need sucky things in life to make you stronger.

I have been doing acting my whole life. I did plays in high school. I take it pretty seriously. I used to do a lot of Shakespeare and Shakespearean festivals and monologues.

People think for Shakespeare you have to have a big English accent, but it's not true. He designed it so it can be performed in any accent in any time period.

My mother's my biggest supporter.

Nobody wants to be a lawyer - it's hard work. But it was kind of my academic route.

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.
