I'm Not Too Into Fast Food, But

People Who Have Not Done Their Research On Me Do Not Know That I Am European, Born In Copenhagen, Denmark To An Italian Father From Napoli And A Mother From Alabama Who Was Singing Opera And Went To Europe, Met My Dad, Fell In Love, And Then Moved Back To Rome, Where I Was Raised, Between Rome And Hamburg.

I Want A Body Of Work; I Want A Good Story After A Good Story.

I Feel That Our Stories Are Cross Culturally Irrelevant, And I'm A Member If A Larger Community Of People Who Have No Boundaries In Terms Of Color Or In Terms Of How I Look At Other People And Their Stories.

I Feel That We Have Come A Long Way As American People, And We Have To Start Looking At Ourselves As Human Beings.

Many Times - Especially When I'm Playing An Historical Character - I Want To Be Really On Target With How I Create That Character And Really Nuanced With Who That Human Being Might Be. But I Don't Want To Lose The Likeness Of Me Or The Depth Of My Own Personality. So Meditation And My Spirituality Has Helped Me To Realize That, Yes, I Want To Get Out Of The Way But I Also Want The Ability To Hold On To What The Audience Likes Of What They See Of Me.
