I have about as much control over how I look as the guy who's short and looks more like a character actor - we both have the same drive to be actors and we both have the same drive to assume these different characters, it's just harder for me to get the chance because they look at me and say, 'Oh, he's this type,' and they stamp me.

I like reading. I just hate school.

I mean I would still love to be in Mel Brooks' movies; he's great.

Not sure of my place in the world (still up for debate) and not sure what I wanted to do with my life (not really up for debate).

My great-great-grandfather Julius founded the Communist Party in New York.

I support myself. My wife and I together - it's all our household. I'm really proud of that.

Searching out directors you respect and that you can learn from that's always the dream. That's the goal. That's hopefully where this whole thing is leading, and what better way to learn about directing and learn about what works and what I like and what resonates me than by working with a bunch of great directors.
