'The Sopranos' all came down to the writing. I wouldn't have been on for as long as I was if the writing weren't so good.

I can't actually believe how good 'The Sopranos' is. I genuinely am dumbfounded by it. It's like when you realize how good The Beatles are, and you think, 'How did they do that?'

I think that the difference between 'The Sopranos' and the shows that came before it was that it was really personal. There had been a lot of dramas, a lot of really good ones, a lot of really bad ones, but they were always franchise shows about cops, or doctors, or lawyers. They weren't about the writer himself.

I never know what I'm going to get. A 'Sopranos' fan is very different from a 'Big Lebowski' fan.

Being on 'The Sopranos' definitely prepared me for the militant secrecy of 'Mad Men.'

I actually got more attention from one episode of 'The Sopranos' than I did from two years of 'The L Word.'

'The Sopranos' only reflected the tenor of how things are done in New Jersey. They didn't invent it. And I say that as a fan of both 'The Sopranos' and New Jersey.

When I was doing 'The Sopranos', I liked putting music together with the film; that was my favorite part of it.

I had some experience when I joined 'The Sopranos' in the last season. My character married Christopher, and everyone loved Adriana. I knew what it was like to join a very beloved, secretive show and following a very iconic character.
