I don’t need to see the old school to remember it and the teachers there. They changed the way that I’ve always looked at life and learning. – 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. – 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. – Dennis Farina
I realize that no one is going to come to me and ask me to be Julius Caesar or a romantic lead, but I think I’m a certain type of guy who looks a certain way, and that’s just the reality of things. – Dennis Farina
My parents, I don’t know about ‘strict,’ but I would say they were fair and judicious, you know? – 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. – Dennis Farina

In the kind of roles I do, you can do them and walk away from it and have a really nice time. – Dennis Farina
I just think ‘Law & Order’ is the gold standard. History is going to show that it’s probably one of the best series of shows that has been on television. – Dennis Farina
I would love, one day before this is all over, to do a Western. That, and to play a priest. – 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. – Dennis Farina
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. – Dennis Farina
