Death can't be so bad if mom went through it. It makes it easier for the child to follow.
People call me an instinctive actor. I used to consider that an insult early on, only because I had never studied. Now... I love it.
My father never saw me play ball, and I was an outstanding ballplayer. I missed all that adoration.
My mother was the total influence. My father was what we call a nomadic person; he was a wanderer.
If I didn't start singing in the cabarets and on my albums, I could have never even tried something like 'Capone.'
At some point in my life, before I was gone, I wanted to make an album, even if it was for no reason other than posterity.
An album is such a personal thing. It's something I always wanted to do. It's me doing me, singing as me.
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.
The choreographer for the Milton Berle show wanted me to audition. I walked away from that.

I used to make up stories about my father. I would go to the movies and look for a character who looked like my father.
I have sons, and they have never said the word hell in front of me or my wife. That's the truth.

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.
