My husband is actually Italian-American, and he thought I was Italian when he first met me.

People have an image of Italians. When I go somewhere in the world, I don't care where it is, when they look at me it's not about my intelligence. It's who can I beat up.

Italian-Americans are not the Mafia.

I know Italians and I like them. A lot of my father's best friends were Italians.

Italians know about human nature - they understand human nature perhaps better than anyone else does. They know that people are weak and greedy and lazy and dishonest and they just try to make the best of it; to work around it.
