“I've said this a million times. But I've always wanted to do movies.” — David Chase

The thing about movies now is in a way what it always was: The screen is huge and now the sound systems are too. And you never get that with TV. Even with a home system, it's never the same.

Once the subject matter of rock n' roll changed from cars and pop love songs to songs about really true love and the blues and death and mortality, this light bulb went off in my head and I went, 'Oh, that's what they're doing. That's kind of - that's art.'

When I was doing 'The Sopranos', I liked putting music together with the film; that was my favorite part of it.

I'm the number-one fan of gangster movies.
