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

'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.

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

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.'

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?'

Being on 'The Sopranos' definitely prepared me for the militant secrecy of 'Mad Men.'
