Paul Sorvino Quotes

On why he left "Law & Order" (1990): "One of the frustrating things about that role - one of the reasons George Dzundza left, I assume, and certainly why I left - is that there wasn`t enough range...It wasn`t a large enough vehicle for me to express what it was I want to express as an artist."

When asked what he thought of Goodfellas (1990) when it first came out in 1990, he said: "I thought it was boring, excessively violent and not a good movie. I thought I was boring, I thought that I had hurt my career, I thought that this movie should not have been made and it`s not a good movie". He then said three hours later after thinking more about it, "Do you know, I`m kind of coming through a clearing here and I`m thinking that`s not a boring movie, that`s a good movie, that`s a great movie maybe, and I`m really good in it!"
