“I want to do a book called 'Shopping and Cooking for One with Tony Danza,' where I will show you how to shop.

“I'm an American songbook guy, though I've got eclectic tastes. I really love the American songbook. I've taken up the ukulele, and so you can play 'Five Foot Two' and Hawaiian music, but you can also do some of the great tunes, like 'You Go to My Head,' 'I Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out to Dry,' 'Taking a Chance on Love.'”

“I am looking forward to getting to do things I have never done before.”
