If you combine good flavors, food turns into an orchestra.
No one before you has gotten to me this way.
Performing in front of a live audience can be pretty intimidating, so having a full head of hair was important to me.
God spent a little too much time on my nose.
People can sense when someone is fake or real on TV.
I'm Italian. I love to cook Italian food, so I learned from my dad how to make sauce and meatballs and all that stuff. With my wife and kids, I started making homemade pasta. The very first time, I didn't have a pasta maker, so I had to cut it with a knife, the old-school way! The noodles were all jacked up, but it was fun.
It's fun to be able to have a fun palate, and the way I say that, you think about it and it sounds funny, but it's true.
I have kind of an iron stomach.
I may be able to concentrate on a move, but it may not look exactly how I need it to look like, as far as in the ballroom world. Hip-hop is different; it is a lot more flowy with ballroom.
It's tough for those celebrity couples. It's really hard. My wife wasn't in the limelight, which made it easier... the key is to keep it happy, light, and fun.
