I'm About My Characters.

I Was Raised A Catholic And When You're Raised A Catholic They Don't Teach You To Think For Yourself. You're Taught Not To Think Too Deeply About Things.

When I Talk About Drugs And Alcohol, I'm Talking About Sex Addiction, Gambling Addiction, Eating Addiction, Throwing-up Addiction. I'm Not Talking About Mental Illness.

A Script Is Not A Piece Of Literature, It's A Process.

The Actors That I Love To Work With, They're Hard On Me. They're Pushing Me.

Mulberry Street Was The Beating Heart Of The Italian-american Experience, But You Don't Find Those Gangsters Now. I Live With A Bunch Of Yuppies And Models.
