“I graduated from CUNY College of Staten Island with a 3.9 GPA in three and a half years.”

“Anxiety is a natural thing humans have. You know, that's how we evolve. That's how we are, you know, we think things through. Sometimes my mind just thinks things through a lot.”

“Well, I definitely have an artistic side to me as well. I write, I act, I draw. With that artistic mind I have, a lot of doors have opened for me. I can try to pursue, like - if it's something using my writing skills, maybe a book. Or maybe if it's my drawing skills, some clothing designs.”

“I have been doing acting my whole life. I did plays in high school. I take it pretty seriously. I used to do a lot of Shakespeare and Shakespearean festivals and monologues.”

“I was always the lead role in plays. I like entertaining people. I like when you're on stage doing crazy stuff and the audience gets it.”

“I'm an artistic kind of person. I draw. I've drawn my whole life. When you have an imaginative mind, I think the artistic form manifests itself in different ways. When I was younger, I used to draw murals for people.”

“I can work myself up into a fearful, paralyzing state of mind that can last for days, weeks even months where I feel mad, totally isolated and alone, overwhelmed and completely out of control.”

“People think for Shakespeare you have to have a big English accent, but it's not true. He designed it so it can be performed in any accent in any time period.”

“I was a huge Spice Girls fan when I was a kid. When I was younger I had a Spice Girls poster on my wall and I watched the movie.”

“My mom's gonna be the biggest star - mark my words right now!”

“Partying isn't every aspect to my personality.”

“My political science degree is always on the back-burner. I took my LSAT, so even if I want to take the LSAT again, I know what I'm getting into. I'll keep it on the back-burner. Who knows, maybe with my popularity, I can have a career in politics with a law degree. I think it'll work out either way.”

“All celebrities are real people behind everything.”

“I'm definitely suspicious of girls. I've been suspicious of girls my whole life, though, so it's not anything new.”

“My family was all born in Sicily and I'm Italian-American. They're the real thing. They're authentic Italians, and honestly they're the most open-minded, nicest people in the world and nothing can really offend them. That's the way I think true Sicilians are.”

“I've always been more natural at doing hosting things: reading teleprompters, taking direction and asking questions... I'm actually able to perform a little bit.”

“I enjoy painting and can copy almost anything.”

“I took the LSAT the day 'Jersey Shore' premiered, and after that I was too busy to go to law school.”

“I keep it real normal, like I don't try to act like a celebrity, or say that just because I'm on a TV show I can do other types of TV. I take it very seriously and I respect the art of acting.”

“I'm in my best shape when I'm really anxious, because I have to get to the gym. Physically I'm in the best shape.”
