I like movies about failing.

Well, you know, with every character, if you're going to expose yourself, you've got to figure out every detail that you're going to play. So there's no character that you can just go put on his shirt and be fully prepared.

It's interesting when you're part of a group - the Jews, to be exact - that the world has had such problems with.

I think anger and laughter are very close to each other, when you think about it.

You know, when cameras are rolling, improvisation doesn't feel natural. The pressure is too great. You're on a time schedule. You've got 60 crewmen.

'Drive' came to me because the casting director knew my manager and called and said, 'You've always talked to me about Albert wanting to play the heavy. I think he should read this.' My ears just perked up.

I've always felt like I work in a small little area that doesn't represent anything like the rest of society.
