I love Morocco - it's a real challenge to all five senses. You think you know something, and you don't. It's wonderful. It keeps you on your toes that way.

The Tonys are also kind of like a homegrown party. You know everybody.

It's funny to see the finished product of a movie, stuff that's so beautiful, and to remember the particulars.

I'd love to do a costume drama movie. For no other reason, except that it sounds fun to me.

There are so many choices I made simply for health insurance. Is it the ideal role I wanted to play, or the TV show I wanted to be a part of? No, but it let me afford to go to the doctor.

You try to follow suit and the directors I work with, like Sidney Lumet (on film in Before The Devil Knows You're Dead and TV in 100 Centre Street) who thinks actors hung the moon, thinks they can do anything, but he also works really quickly, the same like Clint Eastwood, and so you better also do your homework, you know?

I come from a working-class background in Queens, New York.
