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.

I came out of repertory theater, where I worked 50 weeks a year, and I loved working with the people.
And so I've always been fascinated by the technical end of theater, and a lot of my closest friends are not actors, but in the other end of the business.
I did a voice for Odo, but people don't recognize you by your voice.
