James Gandolfini

Both my mother and father were very supportive of any career move any of us wanted to make.

I'm an actor... I do a job and I go home. Why are you interested in me? You don't ask a truck driver about his job.

I like dark places.

Good writing will bring you to places you don't even expect sometimes.

I was voted best-looking kid in high school but, as you can see, things changed. I used to say I was a 260 pound Woody Allen. You can make that 295 pound now.

I'm an angry guy.

I want nothing to do with privilege.

All writers are vampires.

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.

I'd love to live in New Orleans. I love the freedom of it - for good and for bad.

I love hearing people laugh.

Standing in public in other people's clothes, pretending to be someone else. It's a strange way for a grown man to make a living.
