Every time I got a script for The Sopranos, I was disappointed because AJ was always written to be a douche.

Every time you get the script, you're like, 'God I have to be a douche again.' There was no... you almost think he's gonna do something cool that he just miserably fails at whatever he's trying to do... [AJ] was written that way of like as a viewer you're constantly frustrated in him.

This is a subjective reflection on character development from the actor himself.

Modern poker is no longer fun because it has been solved by mathematical models and GTO

13 years ago poker was different than it is now, you know, they figured it out with solvers and computers... it just it makes it a lot harder it makes it also a lot less fun. You know People are just sitting there not talking figuring out like mathematical equations in their head where when I was when I moved to Vegas everybody was drinking and laughing and the poker table was like a party, you know, where now it's like a classroom.

This is a widely held sentiment among old-school poker players about the shift in the game's culture.

Tony Sirico (Paulie Walnuts) was the funniest person on the set of The Sopranos 'by far'.

I can't believe when you said who's the funniest guy? He's [Tony Sirico] the funniest guy by far... he was just hilarious being himself because he was, you know, Paulie Walnuts... he was just hilarious being himself.

This is a subjective opinion from a cast member about their colleagues.

I took a guest role on Law & Order specifically to avoid having to go to jury duty.

I got the phone call and they were like, 'hey, you have to come down to Center Street'... so I called my manager and I'm like, 'can you get me a job to get out of jury duty next week?' He called me back and is like, 'yeah, I have a job for you on Law and Order.' If you do the episode of Law & Order, they'll send a letter in that you're working and you can't make jury duty.

Iler appeared in the Law & Order episode 'Vengeance' which aired around the time he discusses.

I am one of the best in the world at predicting Dave Portnoy's pizza review scores

I feel like I'm one of the best in the world at predicting what Dave is going to rate a pizza... I'm nasty like it's just it's crazy. Like I picked this so many times... I would put money up if we want to do that one day.

Never officially tested in a head-to-head competition on the show.
