Quotes

I don't know anyone who curses the way they do on the Sopranos. Not in an Italian household. I never said the word hell in front of my mother.

An album is such a personal thing. It's something I always wanted to do. It's me doing me, singing as me.

I have sons, and they have never said the word hell in front of me or my wife. That's the truth.
