'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 was a huge 'Sopranos' fan, obviously.

Very often at the end of 'The Sopranos' you get the feeling that its not under control, you should be very worried, and life is kind of really, really messed up at lot of times. It leaves you feeling very disconcerted. That was kind of the point of it.

HBO churn out some unbelievable stuff. They really got me with things like 'Band of Brothers.' But you can't beat 'The Sopranos.'

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

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

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.

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

I don't return anybody's calls unless it's going to mean extra money for me. And I've completely cut off all relationships with any friends that I had before the show. And I've copped an attitude.

I always stayed for the first curtain call and people always said, 'Who's that?' But this got me started in acting.
