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.

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.

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.

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?

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

The Sopranos' is filled with really retrograde humor. Bathroom humor, falls, stupid puns, bad jokes - infantile, adolescent stuff, but it makes me laugh.

Psychology doesn't address the soul; that's something else.

Hope comes in many forms.

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.

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.

I have a theory that movies operate on the level of dreams, where you dream yourself.

If we don’t change direction soon, we’ll end up where we’re going.

I tell you, I'm half tempted to break into CIA custody just so I can break Joe Solomon out of CIA custody just so I can break Joe Solomon

All really frank people are amusing, and would remain so if they could remember that other people may sometimes want to be frank and amusing too.

Every city has a town outside with a lake. I pull out my fishing pole and fish. I've been doing that for a long time.

I was nuts about Elvis, like every girl in America.

I have a massive guilt thing about money.

I do call myself a feminist. Absolutely!

The battle of Kursk... the forcing of the Dnieper... and the liberation of Kiev, left Hitlerite Germany facing catastrophe.

We are quite rich enough to defend ourselves, whatever the cost. We must now learn that we are quite rich enough to educate ourselves as we need to be educated.
