David Chase on ‘The Sopranos,’ Trump and, Yes, That Ending
Ahead of the 20th anniversary of the premiere of “The Sopranos,” its creator looks back on the show’s legacy and the endlessly dissected cut to black.
"Since
“The Sopranos,” TV has become perhaps the most creatively fertile and
ambitious pop-culture medium. Do you take any satisfaction from the fact
that you were one of the architects of that?
If
you say so. But yeah, I take satisfaction that I had some effect on the
way things changed. I did want to change things. There is an Elvis Costello song
where he says, “I want to bite the hand that feeds me; I want to bite
that hand so badly.” That’s the way I always felt about working at the
networks, and I think I bit it."
Try "Elvis Costello & The Attractions - Radio Radio"
"I’d
forgotten, until I rewatched it recently, that in the finale A.J. talks
about wanting to work as a helicopter pilot for Trump. Had that worked
out, he might be part of the administration now.

He might be the new chief of staff. He’d be buddy-buddy with Stephen Miller, I know that.
What do you think Tony would have made of Trump becoming president?
He
would think the guy was full of [expletive]. Whether he thought he was a
good president or not — I don’t know that Tony thought much about that
question at all, with anybody who was in office. But I know Tony would
have thought Trump was penny-ante, in terms of his lying and
presentation."
