“The Italian gangster thing has become a form of the modern-day Western...” — Armand Assante Quote

“The Italian gangster thing has become a form of the modern-day Western.”

“I never pursued a career relentlessly.”

“I never pursued Hollywood banging my drum, because I was never in a film big enough to do that.”

“You don't have to be a gangster rapper to be successful. You can do anything.”

“I'm the gorgeous gangster.”

“I'd like to do a number of films. Westerns. Genre pieces. Maybe another film about Italian Americans where they're not gangsters, just to prove that not all Italians are gangsters.”
