Danny Aiello

My mother was the total influence. My father was what we call a nomadic person; he was a wanderer.

I fell in love with the most beautiful girl in the Bronx.

My father never saw me play ball, and I was an outstanding ballplayer. I missed all that adoration.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

It is good to be in front of the lens to appreciate more being behind the lens.

I tend to gravitate to the darkest or most obscure part of any venue in an effort to have my own space to experience the music on my own, free from unwanted conversations and other distractions.
