Edie Falco Quotations

I'm an old-school, embarrassing Joni Mitchell fan. Her music made a hook in my soul and hasn't let go for all these years. I even sing her songs as lullabies to my kids.

I was a young kid from Long Island who wanted to do something large with her life, so I can relate to that.

It's hard to notice things without people noticing me and that takes some getting used to.

One of the ways I think I gain fodder for characters is by watching people.

I don't watch a lot of television.

I love to hand sew. I sometimes make clothing for my children, which of course they grow out of in a matter of minutes. I thoroughly love it.

I never really wanted kids. I didn't not want them, but motherhood just wasn't something that pulled at me.

I really am profoundly grateful just in general in my life. I've had an embarrassing amount of good fortune.

I sort of love reading the scripts and going, 'Oh wow, what a great idea. I never would have thought of that.

We're living in a time when parenting is not at all mirroring the way I was parented. For me, I just followed my parents around on their errands; when they were busy on the phone, I was quiet. It's a different kettle of fish these days: They run the house, and you listen to their music, and you go to their appointments.
