"Most people believe I'm either a gangster or a cop," Sorvino said in an interview in April 2014, but the truth is, I'm a sculptor, a painter, a best-selling author, and a bestselling artist, to a few other things, but none of which are gangsters, but none of them is gangster." I'm definitely my later life goal to disabuse people of the belief that I'm a slow-moving, heavy-lidded thug, and most people's picture of me is that, although they forgot that I was also Dr. Kissinger in Nixon, the deaf lawyer in Dummy, and they'll forget a lot of things that I've done. It would be nice to have my name more than just a "strong guy."

And the motherfucker will be killed. It's simple. If I had known it, he would not be walking. He'd be in a wheelchair. This pig will have his comeback. He will be able to be released under the rule. He's going to go to prison and die in prison."
