| Quotes: |
[on the failure of Nunzio (1978)] The marketing on the movie fell apart, and then the editing, unghghh, whatever. So when that happened, I said 'I want no part of this city; I want no part of the movie business, they just break your heart.' I'd rather do my little plays in a basement somewhere and have fun, you know? So I just dropped ... off ... the map.
<br />
<hr>
[on playing Richie Aprile in The Sopranos (1999)] When I read the part, it offered to me a clear image of what was at stake for that man at that point in his life, and it fused, in a way, with my own. That's very rare. What my life was about, what Richie Aprile's life was about... It came together.
<br />
<hr>
[on playing Italian-American characters] The neighborhood I grew up in was predominantly Italian and Jewish, so there is within my heritage some Italian influence. |
