I love the Italian culture - it's a beautiful culture. I love the language, the Italian people, their music, their attitudes... I just love it! Sometimes I think I'm an Italian trapped in a Spanish woman's body.

I love being Italian.

As an Italian-American, I have a special responsibility to be sensitive to ethnic stereotypes.

I'm Italian, but some people think I'm Jewish because I work the Yiddish. I also work the Italian, by the way.

Wherever I go, I am Italian. The way I talk, the way I eat, the way femininity is important to me. The way I love Italian food.

I look back at my elementary or high school pictures and I always had gel in my hair and a gold chain that I would wear outside my shirt. That's how I was born and raised as an Italian male, and I always considered myself a Guido, anyway.

Italian men do appreciate beautiful women. They're not afraid of the beauty, which is nice.

I'm Jewish and Italian, and I lucked out and got the nose of both cultures.

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

I happen to think Latinas, Latin women, are the most beautiful women in the world. So that's what I'm going to draw. I love women from all cultures, of course, but if I was going to deal with any of them, that would be No. 1 for me.
