Cancer don't respect nothing.

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

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 a kid, I used to watch 'Laurel and Hardy' with my cousins all the time. I still think they're extremely funny and so surreal.

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?

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

The Sopranos' is filled with really retrograde humor. Bathroom humor, falls, stupid puns, bad jokes - infantile, adolescent stuff, but it makes me laugh.

Psychology doesn't address the soul; that's something else.

Hope comes in many forms.

We find happiness doing what we love.

Could it be that simple? Tell one story to one generation and repeat it until it was accepted as fact?

I didn't grow up wealthy. We couldn't even afford spaghetti sauce when I was first born, but my mom and dad worked really hard and came from the bottom up.

The secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine.

We seem to believe it is possible to ward off death by following rules of good grooming.

He who understands the wise is wise already.

Because of this ever increasing discernment of the true Mason he/she will find more efficient ways to apply brotherly love, relief and truth.

We should amuse our evening hours of life in cultivating the tender plants, and bringing them to perfection, before they are transplanted to a happier clime.

That's what I like about the movie business: you're always in contact with wonderful and interesting people.

I have the audacity to believe that peoples everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality and freedom for their spirits.
