I think everybody had difficulties with that dynamic, turning the family into a band and being constantly together. So everybody, as individuals. had things to sort out.
There's an honesty in our family - my kids and I are able to talk about things without me putting the fear of God into them.
The secret is to make sure your family comes before anything else, because no matter what you do you've got to come home.
The Jersey Shore is the kind of place where the policeman has a little cottage that might have been in the family for years and many other people call home.
I'd always lived with people - my family, or had people living with me, because I'd never liked being on my own.
I've always had bizarre, negative feelings about anything traditional, like marriage and family. I never thought something like that worked.

What I look for in a role is the physical. But what's the journey emotionally? Can I take this person who is this archetypal tough guy and find the beauty?
Beauty can make you powerful in a way that isn't good for you. Being OK is better for the person I have become.
