My First Language Was Shy.

[oscar Wilde's Salome Screenplay] Is Not Autobiographical In A Sense Where You Go To My House And See My Kids And Stuff Like That, But That's Why I Guess It's Semi-autobiographical.

I Probably Write A Poem Every 50 Years.

Either I Act Or I Die.

I'm Much More A European Italian Than I Am An American Italian, And I've Always Felt That That Style Of Acting Comedy Is In Me. I Put Comedy As Much As I Can Into All My Movies, If I Can Help It.

When You Do These Things, You Sort Of Take The Journey. The Journey Is All About How I Can Interweave The Oscar Wilde Story, The Story Of Salome, The Play Itself And What It Is, What It Contains, And My Journey As An Actor, As A Director, As A Filmmaker, As A Person Struggling With Whatever I'm Struggling With - My Own Celebrity, My Own Life. This Is Semi-autobiographical In Terms Of My Commitment To This Kind Of Thing.
