I want nothing to do with privilege.

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.

Actors will say, 'My character wouldn't say that.' Who said it was your character?

All writers are vampires.

The Sopranos all came down to the writing. I wouldn't have been on for as long as I was if the writing weren't so good.

I lost 30 pounds to play my character in 'The Mexican,' but people don't take to skinny mafia men, and I don't feel right when I'm thin.

I find I have to be the sad clown: laughing on the outside, crying on the inside.
