Look, people have an image of Italians. When I go somewhere in the world, I don't care where it is, when they look at me it's not about my intelligence. It's who can I beat up.
I need distractions. Good distractions, not bad ones. A good distraction for me is a great play.
I fell in love with the most beautiful girl in the Bronx.
My mother was like the pope. Any talent that I have that's good comes straight from her. She was loving to all people. Not only me.
I know it's silly to say it, but I love 29th Street and I love Jack Ruby. Moonstruck I liked, but my character was troublesome to me.
