Antonio:(on Reality Tv) Once you're in there, that's it. You're stuck and nobody is going to take you seriously again. You can't get any more cheesy than that.
Antonio: (Antonio on hisBold and the Beautifulcharacter) Dante is troubled. Troubled to create the perfect painting, troubled to have a normal relationship. He definitely has some demons to work out.
Antonio: (on how much he has in common with his character onThe Bold & The Beautiful) We're very much alike. I've incorporated my love of cars into the character, and my view of love and family. Dante is driven by his love for Bridget and his boy, and I can relate to that. When I took this role, I was clear that I didn't want to play some guy who just dates all over the place. I wanted him to be very much the Italian who loves his family, and that is who he's been.
Antonio: (on being excited about his father being onB&B) They're bringing my real dad, Antonio Sr, on to play my father. The producers called him and asked, and he was stunned and so happy. He'll do at least seven episodes and he'll sing - in Italian! Everyone is very excited. My father is a big star in Europe - he's done about 40 movies - but for him, this is bigger than life!.
Antonio:(On Australia) I love Australia. Everything - the people, the beaches. It's clean and everyone is friendly. I look forward to coming back soon.
