People get so tired of the '60s.

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.

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.

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.

Hope and faith goes hand-in-hand, because without hope there is no faith. The same goes with want and needs, without any wants, there no need to have a need

When people's faith in the collective intelligence increases, falls to the same extent their own individual sense of responsibility.

Shine your light so bright, and no one will need a telescope to see you.

I don't have any fear of death. I do, however, have an inordinate fear of becoming dependent on other people. To me, that's the severest test, not death.

The whole idea is to get an edge. Sometimes it takes just a little extra something to get that edge, but you have to have it.

Focus your awareness on the heart chakra. As you do, you will feel your consciousness shifting. You may feel different perceptions of energy in different parts of your body.

I want to say to you that there is life and dreams and surprises after 30-and 40, and 50, and 60, and 77! Believe me, life is one long surprise.

Our tools are extensions of our purposes, and so we find it natural to make metaphorical attributions of intentionality to them; but I take it no philosophical ice is cut by such examples.

People are obsessed. There's an incredibly large group of people that spend most of their time considering other people's lives. It's strange to me.

Not a single person whose name is worth remembering lived a life of ease.
