Dennis Farina

I've probably played more non-police roles than people realize.

Am I a good actor? I don't think about it. But I'm working on 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.

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

I like being in the '60s.

I even played a part in 'Miami Vice.'

I really don't think there's such a thing as an ex-policeman.

I loved 'Buddy Faro.' I loved the whole idea.

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.

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.

There's a whole catalogue of actors that never went to acting school.

The cast was huge, but I never saw anybody.
