He told me one thing. But I think it's different now.
guy losing temper
For once I'm not the guy losing my temper all the time.
people hearing serious
I love doing theaters, cracking people up, hearing them physically roll in the aisles. But we need to get serious. These are serious times. No joke. No joke.
fighting tv-shows laughing
What they say about TV shows is true. You're really a family. You laugh, you fight, you get close, you know? Movies are shorter. They're over quicker. You don't form the same bonds.
character useless littles
I have a little bit of a temper, but it's ... a useless temper, ... It doesn't accomplish anything, generally. It's just a lot of ranting and raving and nothing, so David (Chase) probably saw that and put it into the character.
comedy idiotic
I like idiotic comedies.
hbo
I have nothing but respect for HBO.
character thinking mafia
I don't think I will do a Mafia character again. I want to get away from the violence a little bit, because it is starting to bother me personally.
mean thinking interesting
I just don't think I'm that interesting. I don't think what I have to say is that interesting. To hear me go blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I mean, who... cares?
giving want sopranos
Those who want respect, give respect.
fun people acting
Part of the fun of acting is the research, finding out about other people.
laughing sopranos cry
I find I have to be the sad clown: laughing on the outside, crying on the inside.
mother father moving
Both my mother and father were very supportive of any career move any of us wanted to make.
school intelligent thinking
I dabbled a little bit in acting in high school, and then I forgot about it completely. And then at about 25 I went to a class. I don't think anybody in my family thought it was an intelligent choice. I don't think anybody thought I'd succeed, which is understandable. I think they were just happy that I was doing something.
