We define a metrosexual as someone who really takes care of themselves in terms of grooming and style. There is nothing wrong with that. But I think you need to have some other values. It's cool to incorporate some traditional values into metrosexuality. Then it becomes a good lifestyle.
Grooming should be done in moderation.
You take what God gives you and relish it.
I spent my youth playing music, and I worked a lot in New Jersey and New York clubs. At 18, I worked all around Hudson, Essex, and Bergen counties.
You see mob guys when you play in nightclubs. It's part of the protocol.
Trust is very important. In 'Goodfellas' in the 'Go home and get your shine box!' scene, we must have filmed 15 takes. If you played each take back, the timing would be exactly the same each time.
I knew so many gangsters, and I call on that experience with them for characters.
I think 'The Sopranos' probably solidifies the misconception that people have about New Jersey to begin with. Because you're from Jersey, and everybody has an accent, you are perceived a certain way. I don't know if they are jealous or in awe or look down their nose at you, but that's the way life is. If you don't like it, change the channel.
I never in my wildest dreams thought that I'd have merchandise selling on a web site. It's just amazing to me.
I've met a lot of big stars who have humility. Sly Stallone is a very humble guy. Robert DeNiro is a really humble guy. Some of the women aren't so humble for some reason. I don't know why.
I work on television and I work in film, and the acting is two different things.
I don't know what drives me. I need to work. I wanted to be in the entertainment field, but I didn't know what.
I do a lot of meet-and-greets with the people, and I do 'sign shows' where I meet people and sign autographs.
I did a lot of 'NYPD Blues' and 'Law & Orders' and a couple of other ones that were shot in New York earlier in my career.
My son, Tony Vincent, is a stuntman. He doubles for Jim Caviezel on 'Person of Interest.' He works really hard.
A man's man is respectful, he's honorable, he's loyal, he's sensitive, he's strong, he's tough, he's well-groomed, he has a sense of humor - and he takes care of himself and his lady.
As far as music is concerned, I played music for a very long time, so I have a background in that.
You establish a technique on how to develop characters. Everyone does it their own way, and that's what makes it fun.
I'm a cigar person, I don't smoke one every day, but I used to smoke them, and I had my own cigar at one time. So, I'm fairly knowledgeable about that.
Steve Van Zandt is a very intelligent, smart guy. He's a historian, he knows a lot about rock n' roll, a lot about music.
