I'm a traditionalist. I have certain values I live by.

I try to be a good parent. I've probably repressed my kids more than I should have, protecting them overly. I never hit them. I yelled a lot.

I have sons, and they have never said the word hell in front of me or my wife. That's the truth.

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.

Death can't be so bad if mom went through it. It makes it easier for the child to follow.

An album is such a personal thing. It's something I always wanted to do. It's me doing me, singing as me.
