I wasn't so sure about signing up for 'Law & Order.' I liked the show, but another TV series? I'll tell you, though, it's been great, and I had no idea how popular the show was.
Quote by -Dennis Farina
I would love, one day before this is all over, to do a Western. That, and to play a priest.
Quote by -Dennis Farina
You can't act for the editing. You just go in and do the scene the way you think is right.
Quote by -Dennis Farina
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.
Quote by -Dennis Farina
When they released Sidewalks of New York, there were some shots with the towers they were going to take out, and Ed told them no. I don't think they can deny the towers were a part of New York.
Quote by -Dennis Farina
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.
Quote by -Dennis Farina
Vince or Brad or Benicio would say, Maybe we should try this, and Guy was open to changes.
Quote by -Dennis Farina
Usually you're in movies with a lot of dissolves and things, but this was kind of quick, more jarring than usual. I thought it would be fun to be in a movie that's unconventional. Then I met Guy and I liked him. I think he's a good man.
Quote by -Dennis Farina
This is my first experience working in a foreign movie, but the mechanics, I think, are pretty much the same all over; you still have to wait in the trailer.
Quote by -Dennis Farina
I've tried writing. Two days later I'd go visit it and say, Jesus Christ, who wrote this crap?
Quote by -Dennis Farina
I'd love to do a Western. A real Western like John Ford used to do. There's not too many of them made, so I don't know if I'll ever get to do that. They're awfully hard movies to make.
Quote by -Dennis Farina
I wanted to do Buddy Faro as a small budget movie. They said no. So I wanted to do it as a series of recurring TV movies, and they said no. So I agreed to do it as a series.
Quote by -Dennis Farina
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.
Quote by -Dennis Farina
I learned a long time ago: You're in the entertainment business. You're not in the reality business. One has absolutely nothing to do with the other.
Quote by -Dennis Farina
I know people who go back and check themselves, but it drives me crazy. Everybody wants to look in the mirror and see Cary Grant looking back at them, but that's just not the case.
Quote by -Dennis Farina
I have a home in Arizona. I go a couple months a year, but basically Chicago is my home.
Quote by -Dennis Farina
Do whatever you're directed to do, and leave the rest of that technical stuff up to the director.
Quote by -Dennis Farina
As far as carrying the American banner, you just do what's right for the kids.
Quote by -Dennis Farina
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.
Quote by -Dennis Farina
Sometimes you can take those dramatic roles and maybe interject a little humor into them, and I think the reverse also works.
Quote by -Dennis Farina
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.
Quote by -Dennis Farina
What you do as a policeman might be the right thing to do, but it's not entertaining. I left that behind me.
Quote by -Dennis Farina
This generation of filmmakers is very good. They're seasoned, for some reason.
Quote by -Dennis Farina
Car chases usually don't involve major criminals - they're usually guys afraid of getting another traffic ticket.
Quote by -Dennis Farina
This face is nothing to brag about. I don't know what it is that these people see in my face.
Quote by -Dennis Farina
The most credible police shows I've ever seen were 'Barney Miller' on TV and 'The French Connection' movie. They showed the tedious side of police work.
