I don't need to see the old school to remember it and the teachers there. They changed the way that I've always looked at life and learning.

Dennis Farina 59 quotes

When I first got into acting,...

When I first got into acting, I never had any long-term goals, never had any plan. I just thought it would be a good way to make some extra money.

Dennis Farina 59 quotes

If you did something, and it ...

If you did something, and it wasn't right, you definitely found out about it. And they were pretty smart people, both my parents, so you didn't get too much by them.

As far as carrying the American banner, you just do what's right for the kids.

Dennis Farina 59 quotes

When I was a kid going to the...

When I was a kid going to the movies, we'd go because Bogart was in the movie, or Cagney, or John Wayne. We didn't know what the story was about or anything.

Dennis Farina 59 quotes

Sometimes you can take those ...

Sometimes you can take those dramatic roles and maybe interject a little humor into them, and I think the reverse also works.

Dennis Farina 59 quotes

I read the script and try not...

I read the script and try not to bring anything personal into it. I make notes, talk to the director and we decide what kinds of shades should be in the character.

Dennis Farina 59 quotes

My mother and sisters cooked ...

My mother and sisters cooked Italian food, and I never heard of half of the dishes you see in these Italian restaurants. I just go in and order spaghetti.

Dennis Farina 59 quotes

I had seen 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' and I thought that was a different kind of film than I'd seen before, with that kind of editing and slick camera movements.

Dennis Farina 59 quotes

Maybe it's because I was too ...

Maybe it's because I was too much reality, but I'm not interested in seeing too much reality anymore. I'd rather watch a Dean Martin concert and let the world go by.

Dennis Farina 59 quotes

Acting is a work in progress ...

Acting is a work in progress for me. I just try to keep my mouth shut and my eyes and ears open, especially with the people I've worked with.

There's not too many offers that come my way about being in a musical.

Dennis Farina 59 quotes

I just think 'Law & Order' is...

I just think 'Law & Order' is the gold standard. History is going to show that it's probably one of the best series of shows that has been on television.

Dennis Farina 59 quotes

It was a great time, and I liked the guys. I liked getting up every morning and being a cop.

Dennis Farina 59 quotes

I don't watch any of my own movies, but I love going to the movies. To me, there is nothing more relaxing or gratifying than sitting down in the dark and having some popcorn and watching a great movie.

Dennis Farina 59 quotes

I never jumped into anything,...

I never jumped into anything, and I never liked being cajoled into anything. I've pretty much always done things because I wanted to do them.

Dennis Farina 59 quotes

I'm old enough to never say n...

I'm old enough to never say never. I never had a grand plan with what I was going to do. There are some movies that I would like to be involved with, but I'm trying to be a working actor.

Dennis Farina 59 quotes

You can change a person's lif...

You can change a person's life in an instant; put him in a movie, and you start thinking differently, you want to be in another movie. It's like an addiction almost.

Dennis Farina 59 quotes

In a sense, all actors are character actors, because we're all playing different characters. But a lot of the time - and I don't know, because I'm not a writer - but writers a lot of times write second- and third-tier characters better than they write primary characters. I guess they're more fun.

Dennis Farina 59 quotes

Writer-directors are a little...

Writer-directors are a little bit more liberal, rather than having just the writer on the set, because I think sometimes the writer becomes too precious with the words. If you're a writer-director, you can see what you're doing and see your work in action, so I think you can correct it right there and still not compromise yourself.
