I've been in so many funeral scenes from The Sopranos, and I think I've even been in one on Sons of Anarchy. Those scenes, as a human being, are the most tedious scenes, of all time. You're waiting, all day, in the blistering hot heat. So, I didn't need to be there.

I believe if you take care of it, He will help you take care of it.

I think that the difference between The Sopranos and the shows that came before it was that it was really personal.
