“One of my early money mistakes was getting fired from the first acting...” — Michael Imperioli Quote

One of my early money mistakes was getting fired from the first acting job I ever had. I was cast in a play as the lead, and I got fired three nights after the open.

I like working with people I know and feel a kinship to.

I played guitar in a band from when I was about 20 for three years. Then I sang a little. Then I started getting really busy as an actor and forgot about it.

When I was young, you went to school, dealt with your friends and drama, went home, did your homework, went to bed, and started over the next day. But that social interaction that happens at school doesn't end now - it goes until the minute you go to bed and starts again when you wake up.

I've been cast as myself so many times, I guess I should catch on and figure out if it's a compliment.

The entire cast and crew of 'Yellowstone' - just good, hardworking people - really embraced me and lifted me up. I didn't know what to expect going into it but I learned a lot. It gave me an opportunity to share my music with the world and that's all I've ever wanted to do.

But he is unworthy the name of a minister of the gospel of peace, who is unwilling, not only to have his name cast out as evil, but also to die for the truths of the Lord Jesus.

At the time I just was like, I can't believe I am on the show, and the first thing I have to do is an entire song and dance routine for the whole cast of 'Mad Men.'
