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.
Television is a prisoner of dialogue and steady-cam. People walk down a hall, and the camera follows them around a corner.
People who need therapy are in Afghanistan. They've seen horrible human cruelty and degradation, but they don't have time or the money for therapy.
The Sopranos was the first show about the life of the writer. I never made any secret about the fact that it was about my mother.

We have eight more games to go; and we want to win them all. If we can win a title, people will think we're for real. We can't take anything for granted.
Last year, we felt we needed more teachers. I'm troubled that we're not going after personnel just because we don't have the room for them.
