If something sticks around long enough that it makes it to seasonal D.V.D. release, I'll watch it. That's how I watched 'The Sopranos'.

'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.

If you see the Sopranos, you're not going to be speaking in the Shakespearean English.

I think that 'The Sopranos' uses music incredibly well.

I can't actually believe how good 'The Sopranos' is. I genuinely am dumbfounded by it. It's like when you realize how good The Beatles are, and you think, 'How did they do that?'

There's no mistaking the fact that some of the best longform fiction out there now is in American television. 'The Wire' and 'Deadwood' and 'The Sopranos.'
