    Edie Falco's quotes

  • “You get to follow the same character through a lot of the same ups and downs that you go through in your own life. I can't imagine any place else where you get to do that and what a thrill it is. It's not about finding the character any more. It's about actually being in it and going where ever she goes.”
  • “Nobody signed anything to watch this as long as it's on the air. If they find something else, God bless them.”
  • “I actually washed my window once, and it fell through-it was being held together by the dirt.”
  • “Absolutely, in a show like this. David is really unpredictable. He's not a rule follower.”
  • “I've said many times I would do this for a long time.”
  • “I don't know. I would never want to know. I wish I didn't know that we were ending when we're ending because I have this sort of gravity about the time I'm spending with these people I love that I wish I didn't have. But it's inevitable.”
  • “I spent a long time doing independent films, and I?d like to think I?m not getting cast because of the show, but because I?m right for the role.”
  • “Not one, no, not even a single one. ... People have been shot for less on my show.”
  • “I didn't know that the show would be received the way that it has been, ... I couldn't be more thrilled about it. But it's been a surprise.”
  • “It's far too nerve-racking at this hour of the morning.”
  • “The Sopranos. I would never want to know.”
  • “I think people can relate to a lot of these characters. They say, 'Oh, I am sort of like that, and my kids go through stuff like that, and I had to deal with that.' And then Tony Soprano goes and kills somebody.”
  • “She's lovely, great, open, accessible, excited. Everything you could ask for.”
  • “To some extent, she did. She knew who he was, and I think that was part of what excited her about him. She didn't know exactly what she was signing up for, maybe she didn't know how it would feel to be living this life. But she was not blind to what was going to be happening.”
  • “So we're all in denial. But we've also got a long way to go.”
  • “That's the difference between she and I. I'm very happy not knowing, but she would prefer to have an idea of what's ahead. She also knows that in dealing with him you take what you can get.”
  • “I have believed him each time before, and I really believe him this time. I think he's done, by the fact that they were only able to squeeze eight more out of him.”
  • “I'm seeing darkness at the end of the tunnel. I'm not really looking forward to being unemployed again.”
  • “We have inadvertantly created the perfect working environment. They make me want to be better than last time.”
  • “It's not about finding the character any more. It's about actually being in it and going wherever she goes.”
  • “I was here when it happened. I need more time, but that's just me. I'm personally not ready for it.”
