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

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.

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.

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.

A man with wisdom will always have a solution no matter how big his challenges may be. Wisdom makes you a problem solver.

Digressions are part of harmony, deviations too.

Put the walls up. Get the better walls. There's no reason the army website should be hacked.

Categories are gibberish to me. I understand - it helps people organize their thoughts. But you can't go too far with it.

Everyone dies whether one is good in their lifetime or evil in their lifetime. So virtue has no payback. Life is meaningless. When you die, you die!

For me, the voice expresses things that there are just no other ways to express.

I love all of the arts. I love motion pictures. I love stage. I love theater.

And they've got to be held accountable; our broadcasting system has to be made accountable; and unless it is, it's going to be very hard to change anything else for the better in this country.

I made a conscious decision back then that I would rather be the best actress who ever lived than the most famous one.

I would that I were low laid in my grave. I am not worth this coil that's made for me.
