Danny Aiello Quotations

You don't have to be worried about labeling me.

The choreographer for the Milton Berle show wanted me to audition. I walked away from that.

If I stunk for some reason, you can always blame it on the character.

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

I was just so blatantly shy throughout my life.

I used to make up stories about my father. I would go to the movies and look for a character who looked like my father.

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.
