"He probably quit the show every other day. Maybe every day," said Van Zandt in the doc. "Every other day we would go to a bar and we would have the exact same conversation. We'd get drunk and [he'd] say, 'I'm done. I can't, I'm not going back.' And I would say, 'Okay, you got a hundred people depending on you here.' And he's like, 'Ah, yeah, yeah, okay.'"
Van Zandt added that while Gandolfini would usually be back to work the next day, he would also "disappear" for brief periods of time, when the pressure of leading the series "got to him."
