| 1. | An album is such a personal thing. It's something I always wanted to do. It's me doing me, singing as me. |
|
| 2. | Death can't be so bad if mom went through it. It makes it easier for the child to follow. |
|
| 3. | He's out of office now, so I can say that I never truly accepted him in my heart. |
|
| 4. | I don't know anyone who curses the way they do on the Sopranos. Not in an Italian household. I never said the word hell in front of my mother. |
|
| 5. | I have sons, and they have never said the word hell in front of me or my wife. That's the truth. |
|
| 6. | I try to be a good parent. I've probably repressed my kids more than I should have, protecting them overly. I never hit them. I yelled a lot. |
|
| 7. | I'm a traditionalist. I have certain values I live by. |
|
| 8. | I'm an actor and that's what I do for a living, but I just wanted them to know where I came from and hopefully remember what I've started to do. |
|
| 9. | If I stunk for some reason, you can always blame it on the character. |
|
| 10. | Like most people, I would sing in the privacy of my home. I'd also sing for my daughters or at a guest at somebody's function. I loved doing it. |
|
| 11. | My entire family were Democrats all our lives. But because how furious I was about the previous administration, I turned in my card to become a Republican. I did not want to be known as a Democrat under that person's regime. |
|
| 12. | 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. |
|
| 13. | My mother was the total influence. My father was what we call a nomadic person; he was a wanderer. |
|
| 14. | 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. |
|
| 15. | People have their reasons for doing things. It hurt not having a father at home, but I didn't know it at the time. |
|
| 16. | The choreographer for the Milton Berle show wanted me to audition. I walked away from that. |
|
| 17. | The producers know that if they go to Canada, they can make a picture for one-third the price they can in the U.S. |
|
| 18. | There was certainly less profanity in the Godfather than in the Sopranos. There was a kind of respect. It's not that I totally agreed with it, but it was a great piece of art. |
|
| 19. | We talk about Hollywood being pro-labor, yet about 70 percent of our industry has been farmed out to Canada. We are losing jobs like crazy. Where's organized labor asking how we can allow such a thing to happen? |
|
| 20. | You don't have to be worried about labeling me. |
