People get so tired of the '60s.

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

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.

James Gandolfini was a genius. Anyone who saw him even in the smallest of his performances knows that. He is one of the greatest actors of this or any time... A great deal of that genius resided in those sad eyes. I remember telling him many times, 'You don't get it. You're like Mozart.'

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