Among the many things 'Boardwalk Empire' is, is a gangster show.

Tim Van Patten

I live in one of the coastal cities in Southern California, and every so often I like to take a walk down the boardwalk in Venice during the weekends when it is abuzz with lively activity.

Al Seckel

I thought it might be fun to set my books in Nevada, which is in the West and still pretty Wild. You can still gamble, carry a loaded pistol, and go into a silver-mine, and they still have saloons with swinging doors, boardwalks, and horses.

Caroline Lawrence

I would like to be a gang leader on 'Sons of Anarchy' or own a lemonade stand on 'Boardwalk Empire.'

CeeLo Green

When I want to relax, it's nine out of 10 times TV or movies. I love going to the movies and grabbing popcorn or watching 'Mad Men,' 'Boardwalk Empire,' and 'Breaking Bad.'

Cenk Uygur

I'm really grateful for the opportunity I had on 'Boardwalk Empire,' just because it was very different than anything I'd done onscreen.

Charlie Cox

I loved working on 'Boardwalk.' I had a very limited run on it, but I did love it and that was quality television.

Charlie Plummer

West Orange, where I grew up, is the hometown of Ian Ziering from 'Beverly Hills, 90210,' Scott Wolf from 'Party of Five,' David Cassidy from the 'Partridge Family,' and Mike Pitt of 'Boardwalk Empire' and 'Dawson's Creek.'

Chris Gethard

I love 'Boardwalk Empire.' I really love that world. I love that style. I love all the actors on it.

Chris Messina

I'd go to Coney Island to hang out, and I saw a magician doing a rope trick on the boardwalk. I was fascinated. I guess that's how it started.

David Blaine

My girlfriend tells me if I'm doing a movie I'm a roller coaster of emotions all the time, but on 'Boardwalk,' because I've done it for so long and I'm so in tune with the character, she says I'm pretty happy most of the time.

Jack Huston

I don't know if we would have stuff like 'Deadwood' and 'Boardwalk Empire' if 'Twin Peaks' had never happened.

James Roday

I'd love to do something on 'Mad Men' and 'Boardwalk Empire.' I really like period stuff.

Jeremy Allen White

I love 'Boardwalk Empire,' but there were moments where I thought it didn't have the constant through-line that 'Breaking Bad' did and 'Better Call Saul' does.

Jonathan Banks

Sometimes I like to watch TV, though I never get to watch any of the shows in real time. I'm a fan of 'Downton Abbey,' 'Boardwalk Empire,' and 'Boss.' There's a British series called 'Luther,' but in England, they think a series means four episodes. And I like 'Mad Men.' Otherwise, it's always good to unwind with a book.

L'Wren Scott

I remember riding my bike down the boardwalk with nowhere to go and looking at the girls. It was really innocent.

Mark Ruffalo

When I walk down the boardwalk, people stop me and say, 'Oh, your house is the one that glows.'

Mary Matalin

In terms of preparation, if there's some historical context that's needed, I do like to read a lot. Working on Joe Kennedy for 'Boardwalk,' I read a couple of biographies on him. It's nice to have a broader context of the man outside of where the show is coming from.

Matt Letscher

I love an arcade. I love a boardwalk game. But I also love a rollercoaster. Though I think the rollercoaster love comes from the fact that it took a really long time for me to reach the height requirement, so I promised myself very early on that when I reach that, I will not take it for granted.

Melissa Rauch

We must take down the carnies. I think we need to start a campaign to defeat their scamming ways. I never win the boardwalk basketball game.

Melissa Rauch

'Boardwalk' begins literally on the first day of Prohibition, which I think was a wonderful way to start - to have the story kind of come out of this massive historical phenomenon. And the more I researched the '20s, the more I discovered just how interesting it was.
