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.

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.

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.

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 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.

I'm the number-one fan of gangster movies.
