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

I think that 'The Sopranos' uses music incredibly well.

'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.

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

'The Wire,' I was such a fan of that show the first season - I think that's the best-written show on TV.

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

'Heroes', 'Desperate Housewives', 'The Sopranos' - they're all very stylised. 'The Wire' is much more rooted in realism and honesty. In American television, I can't think of anything I'd rather have been in because it has got something to say and that is the kind of thing I want to do.

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.

I was a huge 'Sopranos' fan, obviously.

The best of American television is thought-provoking, original, brilliant, exciting - from 'The Sopranos' on, whether it's 'The Wire' or 'Breaking Bad' or 'House of Cards,' they're fantastic pieces of art.
