I'd seen 'The Sopranos,' but I wasn't a faithful viewer because I can't handle it.

I really loved the 'Sopranos' but didn't have HBO. So someone would send me tapes of the show with three or four episodes. I would watch one episode and go: 'Oh my God, I've got to watch one more.' I'd watch the whole tape and champ at the bit for the next one.

Having the games on TV, I've always believed it's like watching a soap opera - fans can't wait for the next episode.

'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.

HBO and I have a deal to at least try to make a television series from the Leonid McGill stories. We're going to start with the first novel, 'The Long Fall.'

I think summer has become a venue for TV like it hasn't been in years past, especially on Sunday nights. I know that when I'm winding down at the end of the weekend, just a really great TV show or movie is exactly what the doctor ordered.

We're trying to get as many people to become interested in seeing it, but if you like the theater and you're interested in seeing what live theater looks like in New York, you probably already set your DVR. It's gonna be a hard ask to get a bunch of college-basketball fans to tune in for three hours to watch the Tonys.

If someone can watch an entire season of a TV series in one day, doesn't that show an incredible attention span?

The greatest preparation for a TV show is to already have one season behind you.

Not to toot our own horn, but when 'The Sopranos' was on, it was as good as any movie that was coming out in the theater. I think that goes for a lot of shows today.
