My father was always getting excited about something. It's genetically inside me somewhere.

It's a family that's loaded with grudges and passion. We come from a long line of robbers and highwaymen in Italy, you know. Killers, even.

Classes were always a bore to me. I wanted to learn things on my own, not by presentations.I was a loudmouth and a clown. It came as a surprise to me, later, that I could be serious and still get attention.

I was always shocked when I went to the doctor's office and they did my X-ray and didn't find that I had eight more ribs than I should have or that my blood was the color green.

Don't lose the best thing in your life just because you are not sure.

I don't like it when people on the street say ''smile'' or ''cheer up.'' It's a real cheap line. I'm feeling good. I'm feeling real grateful for everything. It's a solid time in my life. When people say I look sad, they're wrong.

I cry a lot. My emotions are very close to my surface. I don't want to hold anything in so it festers and turns into pus - a pustule of emotion that explodes into a festering cesspool of depression.

One of the first signs of being depressed is that you lose interest in things. That's why I think it is important to stay passionate.

Shock is still fun. I won't ever shut the door on it.
