And hey-the psychiatrist in the show is Italian also. So people are going to focus on what they want to focus on. There's not much you can do about that.
Even if I was waitressing, I'd still be acting. I would have made sure, one way or the other, that it would be part of my life.
I actually washed my window once, and it fell through - it was being held together by the dirt.
I wanted to act; that was my one goal. I wanted to devote all my time to acting and not waitressing or anything else.
I was a young kid from Long Island who wanted to do something large with her life, so I can relate to that.
I was able to support myself by acting alone about six years ago. Until then, I was just scraping by.
I was very happy living a normal existence in New York, having my circle of friends. I lived very anonymously for 12 years prior to The Sopranos.

It's hard to notice things without people noticing me and that takes some getting used to.
My actual personality probably lies someplace between the two.
One of the ways I think I gain fodder for characters is by watching people.
The pilot script was great, and at the end, we all thought we'd had a lot of fun and "wasn't it too bad nobody would watch this."

There's lots of touching and hugging and kissing I do as her that I would feel less comfortable doing as myself.
Well, the recognition stuff started with Oz. The idea that you're being seen again and again makes people recognize you.
Well, yeah, but I probably wasn't as open about my desperation.
When a show has gotten as much attention as this one, everyone wants to join in with something to say.
When I first read it, all I thought was, "I know this woman. I could play her in my sleep." I like that she's physically demonstrative.
