My father was a good man, but he was a con man. He was a wanderer, nomadic.

My mother was the total influence. My father was what we call a nomadic person; he was a wanderer.

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.

If I didn't start singing in the cabarets and on my albums, I could have never even tried something like 'Capone.'
