I would imagine that the more time you spend talking to another person, the more you're going to lie to them. So if you spend a lot of time with your relations, you're probably lying a lot to them.

More quotes by David Chase
I had a prior deal in place to do a miniseries for HBO, so I'm not done with TV. But I basically want to stay in movies.
David Chase
But cheer up - we could be selling tobacco. It's not like software kills people if used as intended
David Chase
There's something very dreamlike about film, and I will always be very fascinated by that, and I'm always tempted to go in that direction.
David Chase
When I was a kid, I used to watch 'Laurel and Hardy' with my cousins all the time. I still think they're extremely funny and so surreal.
David Chase
The thing about movies now is in a way what it always was: The screen is huge and now the sound systems are too. And you never get that with TV. Even with a home system, it's never the same.
David Chase
Network television is all talk. I think there should be visuals on a show, some sense of mystery to it, connections that don't add up.
David Chase
The Sopranos' is filled with really retrograde humor. Bathroom humor, falls, stupid puns, bad jokes - infantile, adolescent stuff, but it makes me laugh.
David Chase
Hope comes in many forms.
David Chase
Don't get too comfortable. We are here for a certain period of time, and how much of your life are you gonna choose to spend with distractions? How do you make your choices? What is important?
David Chase
I think people are intolerant of artists.
David Chase
When we were doing 'The Sopranos', I used to love that about it. There were rules, Mafia codes you had to go by, but the code is ridiculous. It's a code among sociopaths.
David Chase
I was so besotted with '8½' that, when it was on TV, I used to take pictures with my 35-mm. camera of the frames of the film. That was the first time I'd ever really seen Italians on screen.
David Chase
Television is a prisoner of dialogue and steady-cam. People walk down a hall, and the camera follows them around a corner.
David Chase
You know, what's interesting is, being your own self is kind of a blur.
David Chase
It doesn't matter if your lead character is good or bad. He just has to be interesting, and he has to be good at what he does.
David Chase
When I was doing 'The Sopranos,' I liked putting music together with the film that was my favorite part of it.
David Chase
People have said that I said I hate television. I never did say that. What I said was that I hated a lot of stuff that was on television. It's nothing about the medium itself.
David Chase
I'm the number-one fan of gangster movies.
David Chase
People get so tired of the '60s.
David Chase
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.
