Famous quotes by Michael Imperioli:

"Tony literally makes you an offer you can't refuse. He's always there for you, for everybody. So when he asks you to be there for sick children, you're there. Period."

"When he started, Christopher was really like a kid. He's had, over the years, more and more adult responsibilities and adult experiences. He's kind of closed some of the generation gap with Tony. But to play a character that actually progresses throughout time and matures is a luxury."

"We take them to dinner... When you're asked to dinner, it's not such a good thing. Remember that."

"We take 'em to dinner. Lots of rituals revolve around food, as you saw. When you're asked to dinner, it's not such a good thing."

"Geographically, economically and culturally, they grew up kind of similar."

"I find a lot of similarities just in the basic genetic makeup of these guys, of Christopher Moltisanti [his character on the HBO show] and Nick Falco [his role on 'Law & Order'],"

"I knew it was going to be good. But you don't know that everyone else is going to think so, or that so many people would think so."

"house progressive new plays in a setting inspired by the grand architecture and design of traditional 19th Century venues."

"Back 20 years ago, there was a division between movie actors and TV actors. That's kind of gone away. People who have had a lot of success in movies in the past now want to be on TV. There used to be much more of a quality division between TV and movies, and that's kind of not the case anymore."

"In Britain you're more used to challenging drama. In America, TV is just boring, and numbing, and bloody terrible."

"I've been working professionally as an actor since I was 20. That's going to be 25 years soon. So, that's a veteran. That's a big-time veteran. I've had some great successes, and I've had some not-successes."

"'Detroit 1-8-7' - the numbers are police slang for murder - is filmed in that blue-collar Michigan city, providing a flavor of authenticity. Detroit offers a unique visual landscape that tells the story of the city and what it's been through."

"I'd go for parts that didn't pay a dime, and there would be 300 to 400 actors there. It could be very discouraging. To make it in this business, you have to have a kind of dumb sense that you're really good. You have to believe that someone is going to recognize that."

"Not to toot our own horn, but when 'The Sopranos' was on, it was as good as any movie that was coming out in the theater. I think that goes for a lot of shows today."

"I played guitar in a band from when I was about 20 for three years. Then I sang a little. Then I started getting really busy as an actor and forgot about it."

"But James Gandolfini and Edie Falco, they did such great work, especially in the last show."

"Detroit is a city that really stands out. It's been through a very difficult time. There's been a lot of pain here, and the city, physically, has suffered. You can see it in certain neighborhoods, and there's buildings downtown that have been abandoned."

"John Ventimiglia, who was on 'The Sopranos,' was in my first acting class and we have been friends since that time. Alec Baldwin was in my class back then, Sean Young and Andrew McCarthy."

"There's too many actors in LA. I mean, I'll go out there from time to time, but I always find it pretty soul-destroying. I don't drive, and the people kind of rub me the wrong way. It's just not home. You know? It's not New York. It's not... my town."

"My family is my life, and everything else comes second as far as what's important to me."
