I was a class clown; the nuns didn't like that.
If you're an actor from New York, and you're Italian-American, you grow up hoping Marty Scorsese knows your name at some point before you die.
A character should always have a secret. I feel like we all do.
I love being a dad. I'd do it full-time if I didn't have to make a living.
I like that message for my own children that you don't have to go with the flow, go with the crowd. That you can be your own person. You can be an individual, and that's valid, and that's important.
I wake up sometimes, and I have this limp, and I'm, like, What if someone chases me, and it's on a bad-knee day? I need to be able to get away.
Nobody's ever going to hire me to choreograph fights.
I didn't go to college.
I was an altar boy in an incredible monastery that was attached to a rectory. The theater of the church is the most incredible theater, and in this church, it was beyond. It was this huge monastery. It was landmarked. It's a beautiful building, and I kind of had the run of it.
I can't do a Bloody Mary. But I like the idea of them. It's got fresh vegetables in it.
The older I get, the more interested in good meals I am.
I love taking pictures of food.
I was, like, 28 or 29 when I finally was on camera for the first time.
My dad worked at a mechanical factory for 35 years. I grew up in Union City, NJ. My mother is a social worker. My sister runs a 7-Eleven, and my brother is a detox counselor. They had no predilection for the arts. But from a very young age, I really, really loved theater.
When I saw John Turturro in 'Danny and the Deep Blue Sea,' I realized that was the kind of actor I wanted to be.
Some actors want to keep riding the horse that made them famous, but it's not interesting to me. I like to turn an archetype on its head.
