Vincent Pastore

Vincent Pastore: When I initially committed to joining Dancing with the Stars, I didn't realize just how physically demanding it would be for me. Unable to put forth my best effort, I felt it appropriate to step aside and give someone else the opportunity.

Vincent Pastore: I'm a people person. I can go up to somebody and ask to get a favor done. People come through for me because they know I won't abuse the favor and it will be a good experience. I was brought up that way by my father: always return a favor and follow through.

Vincent Pastore: (About Celebrity Apprentice): this is different from other Apprentices since our objective is to raise money for our charities. And when you become the Celebrity Apprentice you receive $250,000 for your charity, and along the way as you get the position of being the project manager, if your team wins, you win money for your charity - so that's the objective. Not so much as being the Apprentice, but what you can win for your charity to help others.
