I've played latin, i've played italian. and i've played the all-around regular girl. i think the thing about the way i look, is that i can look like many different things. people sometimes ask me if i'm russian. i don't think i specifically look like a puerto rican or an italian. wouldn't you agree?

I was raised in an italian catholic family in baltimore, maryland. our faith is very important to us, our patriotism, love of faith, love of family, love of country. i took pride in our italian american heritage and to be the first woman speaker of the house and the first italian american speaker of the house, it's quite thrilling for me.

If you were to sit me down in a classroom, with fluorescent lights humming and some woman trying to teach me italian, there's no way. but scream goes to italy, we stay in a squat, and the only way you can ask someone where to take a piss is to do it in italian. so i learned italian.

When i arrived at columbia, i gave up acting and became interested in all things french. french poetry, french history, french literature.

I am a guest of the french language. my poems in french are born of my interaction with the french language, which is not the same as that of a french poet.
