"I want to play a character that people can attach themselves to, that side where you could eat 'em up and say, 'God I'd love him to be my father, the image I'd love to follow the rest of my life.'" --Danny Aiello in The New York Times Magazine, January 21, 1990.
"When it got to the point where I couldn't get anything at all to pay the rent, I got a little hysterical and robbed produce stores and warehouses.

I should have been put away for what I did." --From The New York Times Magazine, January 21, 1990.
Aiello launched the Web site Revolution Earth in fall 2000.
