Im the kind of guy, when the marriage is breaking up, who doesnt want to yell in front of the kids. So I left, but it was very hard.

When I started really singing I was 17, 18 years old. I used to go around trying to be a singer in the Bronx. My knees would shake but I learned by doing.

For TV I don't think I could have gotten a better part than Uncle Junior because of the intimacy of the character based on David Chase's brilliant writing.

I don't like the way Uncle Junior dresses. He loves it.

I went to Brooklyn College and met this beautiful Jewish girl named Merle, with dark hair, exotic looking and brilliant. So we got married and had three children.

Uncle Junior is a criminal, which makes him a villain, so it makes people want to watch him. My whole life as an actor has been preparing for something like this.

My father was an American who could cuss in Italian and make an aria out of it. It was wonderful to watch. But then again, he was a Gemini. I believe in that stuff.

They would wake me up when I was sleeping, and say sing a song for our friends. I had a sweet voice, I had a nice little tenor voice. God knows what I sang, but my whole family would admire me.

The radio was my big influence. Comedy came from the instinctual feel I had for language.

I had to audition for the part of Jnior, and I wanted the role terribly because I knew it was a great character. This guy is a wonderful, funny, mean old guy.

I enjoyed my grandparents very much. My mother and father would always allow me to stay with them.

Jesuits so dominated the study of earthquakes that seismology became known as 'the Jesuit Science.

Not only do self-love and love of others go hand in hand but ultimately they are indistinguishable.

Then it was silent. Heavy now, not the sleepy silence of before. The kind of silence that meant horrifying things.

America was an iceberg shattered into a billion fragments, and on each stood a person, rotating like an ice floe in a storm.

I am often surprised by the cleverness, and now and again by the stupidity, of my dog; and I have similar experiences with mankind.

I felt I really wanted to back off from music completely and just work within the visual arts in some way. I started painting quite passionately at that time.

It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again.

We're (also) looking for a good people person who is able to motivate others and get strong performances out of people.

A veterinarian who naively gave PETA some of the animals, thinking they would find them homes, and examined the dead bodies of others, testified that they were 'healthy' and 'adoptable.'
