I find I have to be the sad clown: laughing on the outside, crying on the inside.

And then you have the classical ballerinas, they're like sopranos. Applied to the dance.

When we were doing 'The Sopranos', I used to love that about it. There were rules, Mafia codes you had to go by, but the code is ridiculous. It's a code among sociopaths.
David Chase

I can spot a musical type. I can tell by looking at a woman whether she is a contralto or a soprano.
Walther Funk

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

The Sopranos all came down to the writing. I wouldn't have been on for as long as I was if the writing weren't so good.

You know when I was depressed I said I didn't want to live? Well, I'll tell you something - I didn't want to die.

If you had asked me moment, as a lawyer, I would have said I would rather have had a male Democrat on the court. Like most lawyers , I love to win. But I was glad to see O'Connor because she made me normal. Just the fact that she was there with a soprano voice and a ruffley collar made my physical presence less weird and less fraught.

Being on 'The Sopranos' definitely prepared me for the militant secrecy of 'Mad Men.'
Cara Buono

It was just as shocking for me to sing opera in a falsetto soprano in Germany.

If you see the Sopranos, you're not going to be speaking in the Shakespearean English.

They killed me in The Sopranos. I went to David Chase, and I said, "Why me? I'm a detective! You can use me forever!" And he told me, "John, there's a rule in television: Somebody has to die that the audience likes."
John Heard

Nobody inspired me more than Julie Andrews, who is a classically trained soprano herself.
Lesley Garrett

I suppose my forcefulness will improve once my voice changes. Sopranos get no respect.
Patricia Grasso

I was a boy soprano. I had a natural kind of voice and then trained it after my voice changed.
Len Cariou

The tendency of modern American women to exclaim 'Hiiiiiiiiiiii!' in soprano octaves and hug each other upon sight can be disconcerting to those unfamiliar with it.
Kevin Hearne

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.
Michael Imperioli

Opera: I like it, except for all those howling sopranos and caterwauling tenors. (Why can't tenors sing like men?)
Edward Abbey

It's great to hear someone really care for the soprano saxophone.
Rufus Reid

That show, The Sopranos put HBO on the map. So there I was - and then there I wasn't. Too bad. The same thing happened to me on Prison Break: I got the role of the governor on that, and then a handful of episodes later, I hanged myself.
John Heard

Not every show needs to reach the same size of audience, or same width, of a ‘Sopranos,'
Sue Naegle

After The Sopranos, my mother said, "Couldn't there be some raft floating under the bridge when you jumped? Or couldn't you have a twin brother?" I said, "Yeah, if they'd wanted me that bad. But they don't."
John Heard

Maybe there would be a bad outcome for some of the others, but no one was going to shoot a soprano.
