Tony, Tony, Tony

The Sopranos is coming to an end shortly and I´m not going to see it, but will wait til I can buy the entire season, and spend one sordid, darkened weekend, soaking it all up.

The actor gave an interview on the end of the saga.

"Nursing coffee from a foam cup, he shares nearly an hour in agreeable give-and-take, only drawing the line when one too many questions delves into his acting technique: "Oh, please! Who gives a (crap)!" he scoffs. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be abrupt.""

What a freaking nice guy. A friend of mine who shared my passion for the New Jersey family once found herself in an elevator with James Gandolfini on the west side of Manhattan. She commented favorable on his banter with a third person in the elevator. Obviously part of the appeal of the character is the nice guy warring with the bad man, inside.

hey, thanks for my birthday wishes, man. that was nice as hell. i have much to say about a lot of your posts (that one about you being an american and the james baldwin quote (which, i love at the end of his "autobiographical notes" when he talks about all the things he is and wants to be and what he hates and what he loves, um, cause i love him) post and also the working out post) but now i gotta pee real bad so i'll just say, tony soprano, and i'm curious when you do get to watch what you think. i say no more, i do not give away nothing. this is from kathryn frances.
