You don't have to be worried about labeling me.

My mother was the total influence. My father was what we call a nomadic person; he was a wanderer.

The choreographer for the Milton Berle show wanted me to audition. I walked away from that.

My entire family were Democrats all our lives. But because how furious I was about the previous administration, I turned in my card to become a Republican. I did not want to be known as a Democrat under that person's regime.

I don't know anyone who curses the way they do on the Sopranos. Not in an Italian household. I never said the word hell in front of my mother.

Death can't be so bad if mom went through it. It makes it easier for the child to follow.

People have an image of Italians. When I go somewhere in the world, I don't care where it is, when they look at me it's not about my intelligence. It's who can I beat up.

I'm a traditionalist. I have certain values I live by.

You don't have to be worried about labeling me.

I have sons, and they have never said the word hell in front of me or my wife. That's the truth.

An album is such a personal thing. It's something I always wanted to do. It's me doing me, singing as me.

If I stunk for some reason, you can always blame it on the character.

There was certainly less profanity in the Godfather than in the Sopranos. There was a kind of respect. It's not that I totally agreed with it, but it was a great piece of art.

At some point in my life, before I was gone, I wanted to make an album, even if it was for no reason other than posterity.

I fell in love with the most beautiful girl in the Bronx.

I need distractions. Good distractions, not bad ones. A good distraction for me is a great play.

I used to make up stories about my father. I would go to the movies and look for a character who looked like my father.

I was 40 when I did my first movie.

I was just so blatantly shy throughout my life.

If I didn't start singing in the cabarets and on my albums, I could have never even tried something like 'Capone.'

Look, people have an image of Italians. When I go somewhere in the world, I don't care where it is, when they look at me it's not about my intelligence. It's who can I beat up.

My father never saw me play ball, and I was an outstanding ballplayer. I missed all that adoration.

My father was a good man, but he was a con man. He was a wanderer, nomadic.

My father was never around. It was almost as if he didn't exist. I would tell my friends he was in Cleveland, on business. Sometimes, every six months or so, he would come by for dinner.

People call me an instinctive actor. I used to consider that an insult early on, only because I had never studied. Now... I love it.

We talk about Hollywood being pro-labor, yet about 70% of our industry has been farmed out to Canada, meaning we are losing jobs like crazy. Where's organized labor asking how we can allow such a thing to happen?

Nothing is as peaceful as when Christmas is over, when one has been forgiven for everything and can be normal again.

I'm just happy to be doing what I always wanted to do. Sometimes you have to remind yourself how privileged you are.

I say this about everything: when I was on 'Neighbours,' I said, 'These are the best years of my life!' When I was filming 'The Wolf Of Wall Street,' I said, 'These are the best months of my life!' I always think I'm having the best time ever, and that I'll never have so much fun again.

And the idea of just wandering off to a cafe with a notebook and writing and seeing where that takes me for awhile is just bliss.

Yahoo is all about content. Deep reservoirs of important content in many, many strong areas.

In the 'Buffy' room, it was never about a plot twist, ever. It was always about, 'Tell the story, tell the characters, complicate their lives, make things get worse,' but we never worked backwards from the plot, and it was always a great lesson.

A friendship that like love is warm; A love like friendship, steady.

Everyone has inside them a piece of good news. The good news is you dont know how great you can be How much you can love What you can accomplish And what your potential is.

Don't believe everything you hear.

To all of our viewers out there - expect the unexpected.

My idols are Richard Dreyfuss, Michael Keaton, John Goodman. Maybe that's what I want for me.

I always liked to write and had fun writing, but I didn't have any pretensions about being a writer. I liked to read and liked to putz around and write little stories or poems, but my thing was sports.

The mind can also be an erogenous zone.

When I was a kid I inhaled frequently. That was the point.

I do believe we have to understand why reality turned out to be different than expectations and estimates. But you have more public service - certainly many of you - than I have ever had, and you recognize that this is not unusual.

When freedom does not have a purpose, when it does not wish to know anything about the rule of law engraved in the hearts of men and women, when it does not listen to the voice of conscience, it turns against humanity and society.

What is Milan's character? Let's not be closed in by our provincialism.

Let's put it this way: if you are a novelist, I think you start out with a 20 word idea, and you work at it and you wind up with a 200,000 word novel. We, picture-book people, or at least I, start out with 200,000 words and I reduce it to 20.

There's a Danish architecture firm called BIG. I love architecture, and I always check out their work; they're very good at reimagining the way we live. They put the human experience as the focus, with access to air and outdoor space.

Can you imagine the impact on our own culture if American Christians began using their riches as if they belonged to God?
