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.

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.

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

I think storytelling is all about children. We human beings love to hear stories being told - and it first happens when you're a kid.

I think people are intolerant of artists.

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.

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