Italian-americans Are Not The Mafia.

I Love People Who Just Started Making Movies - First-timers, Second-timers. They Take Chances.

I'm Very Proud Of Being Italian-american, But People Don't Realize That The Mafia Is Just This Aberration. The Real Community Is Built On The Working Man, The Guy Who's The Cop, The Fireman, The Truck Driver, The Bus Driver.

My Mom Was Sicilian, My Dad Was Sicilian. Mom Was A Great Cook, But All The Women Were.

I've Always Been Successful. Now I'm Famous And Successful.

Mental Violence Is As Bad As Physical Violence. You Don't See That Very Often In Movies, So It Was A Good Subject To Tackle.
