Quotes

Enrico: The biggest break I got was when I got accepted to the Yale School of Drama. They taught me how to detach myself from the art of acting. And then I could begin to see it as a craft as opposed to a part of me that I couldn't differentiate. They trained us to be intentional in our choices and fulfill them. (edit)
Enrico: That's the only thing I can hope for as a dad that when they are in trouble that they'll come to me. Not to stop them from getting into trouble, I just don't want them to hide it. (edit)
Enrico: I see myself more as a journeyman and sort of a supporting character actor. That leaves me more time to enjoy my own life. (edit)
Enrico: I don't know how anybody can just do one picture. Yeah, you make like 90 million dollars in that one picture, you don't need to work, but my mind would rot. I need to go and dig my ditches. I need to go bang a nail every day. I need that and TV gives it to you. (edit)
Enrico: (on "Veronica Mars" season finale "Not Pictured") I read that last episode, got to the part where I died in a plane crash and I went I'm not going to read anymore, but then they said keep reading. (edit)
