I graduated from CUNY College of Staten Island with a 3.9 GPA in three and a half years.

I've been drawing since I was a little kid, but it's not something I love to do every day. If there's one thing I love to do every day, it'd probably be acting. I can act every day. I'd happily do it, you don't have to pay me. But that's one thing I'd love to do and get paid for.

I've always been in school plays and performing monologues and taking drama. Now I'm in acting clas-ses. I do it the real way. I want to be a working actor. I would love that. I just like being on a series and having a script, and I want that to be my nine-to-five.
-
I was always the lead role in plays. I like entertaining people. I like when you're on stage doing crazy stuff and the audience gets it.
-
I'm an artistic kind of person. I draw. I've drawn my whole life. When you have an imaginative mind, I think the artistic form manifests itself in different ways. When I was younger, I used to draw murals for people.
-
I take improv classes. Improv is something I can use in any aspect of life.
-
Nobody wants to be a lawyer - it's hard work. But it was kind of my academic route.
-
I got a family house for everybody to live in - my mom, my sisters and I. And I made sure that it has a separate apartment downstairs for myself. Family is more important than anything. We don't come from any money. So once I get them settled in, in a nice house, then I'll branch out and see if I can get something else.

I don't care who you are, but you turn into a different person when you don't sleep.
-
It helps me when I help people.
-
I keep it real normal, like I don't try to act like a celebrity, or say that just because I'm on a TV show I can do other types of TV. I take it very seriously and I respect the art of acting.
-
Partying isn't every aspect to my personality.
-
You need sucky things in life to make you stronger.
-
I can work myself up into a fearful, paralyzing state of mind that can last for days, weeks even months where I feel mad, totally isolated and alone, overwhelmed and completely out of control.
-
I've always been more natural at doing hosting things: reading teleprompters, taking direction and ask-ing questions... I'm actually able to perform a little bit.
-
When I look for self-help books for myself, I used to be scared that I was going to pick up a book that would depress me even more.

My family was all born in Sicily and I'm Italian-American. They're the real thing. They're authentic Italians, and honestly they're the most open-minded, nicest people in the world and nothing can really offend them. That's the way I think true Sicilians are.
