I thought it's very funny that I ended up as a voiceover guy because when I started out as an actor, I had a very strong Long Island accent.

I had cooked a lot in restaurants, in Rocky Point and on golf courses on Long Island, and my mother said, 'Be a chef,' and my dad said, 'Be a lawyer.' But instead, I auditioned for N.Y.U.'s Tisch School of the Arts.

I'm proud of where I'm from. I'm proud of Long Island.

Someone peeled back the surface of our town, and the whole country saw what was underneath. By Easter 1980 we were creepier than Amityville.

My parents tried to shield me from how famous they were when I was growing up on Long Island. I had no idea.

We weren't poor growing up on Long Island, but it wasn't lavish - just a regular middle-class house.
