Network television is all talk. I think there should be visuals on a show, some sense of mystery to it, connections that don't add up.

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

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?

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.

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 think people are intolerant of artists.
