I went to high school with Al Capone.

Every human being has a bit of gangster in him.

There are millions of gay people in the United States, including well-known celebrities.

I don't think there is a guy that played more gay characters than I have done in my life.

Gangsta to us didn't have anything to do with Al Capone and stuff like that. It's just about living your life the way you want to live it. And you're not going to let nothing stop you.

When my brother-in-law, BIll Clinton, was elected, he had gay friends. That was a coming out.

I do probably come down a little hard on a group of people I call the 'blue chip gays.' I mean people who have managed to become very, very famous and are still very famous partly through staying in the closet, like Jasper Johns, Cy Twombly, Susan Sontag, Harold Brodkey and others.

I've played some gangster roles, but that's obviously not me. When you're an Italian-American New York actor, it's just an easy way to get cast.
