James Gandolfini's quotes
- I'm a neurotic mess. I'm really basically just like a 260-pound Woody Allen.
- 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 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.
- [on why he rarely does interviews] I just don't think I'm that interesting. I don't think what I have to say is that interesting. To hear me go, "Blah, blah, blah, blah.".
- [on his reaction to The Sopranos (1999) pilot script] I thought, I've never been the lead before. They're gonna hire somebody else. But I knew I could do it. I have small amounts of "Mr. Soprano" in me. I was 35, a lunatic, a madman.
- Alan Alda was with M*A*S*H (1972) so long, and now you see him, that's not there that much anymore. In my mind, you work hard, you'll be fine. Everybody's got their baggage.
- Like I always say, I'm standing on my parents' shoulders; they allowed me to do this silly job.
- I love hearing people laugh. Especially in New York, and especially now. To hear somebody out there just belly-laughing.
- [on Tony Soprano, his character on The Sopranos (1999)]: I never think about him, ever.
- I watch stupid comedies. Role Models (2008). I love them. The Rocker (2008). I love that. I like idiotic comedies.
- [on his The Sopranos (1999) co-star, Edie Falco] I'm still in love with Edie. And, of course, I love my wife, but I'm in love with Edie. I don't know if I'm in love with Carmela or Edie or both. I'm in love with her.
- I'm much more comfortable doing smaller things. I like them. I like the way they're shot; they're shot quickly.
- [on acting] It is an odd way to make a living. Putting someone else's pants on and pretending to be someone else is occasionally, as you grow older, horrifying.
