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.

Television is a prisoner of dialogue and steady-cam. People walk down a hall, and the camera follows them around a corner.

You know, what's interesting is, being your own self is kind of a blur.

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.

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.

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.

Hope comes in many forms.

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

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.

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.

People get so tired of the '60s.

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.

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.
