My Emmy is in my china closet. People don't really look at it, though.

The thing that I really love about film is that it is with you forever - it goes to your children, and they get to see it again and again and have it forever.

I don't really have a career plan. There's no joy for me to just be a personality in my work, and I feel that that's so much of what's out there.

I just want to do great work: work that inspires people... To know that you are given this gift in life and that you can gift other people with it, that's the most rewarding thing for me.

I love going to the local market and seeing friends that I grew up with... and having conversations. I love the community of Bayonne.

I just love Bayonne. I love the parks. I love the pizzerias. I love the simple things in life, and it's all here.
