I'd say that animal rights and environmental issues have always been at the forefront of my mind.

Fatherhood is the most amazing thing that could ever have happened in my life.

I would like, in the long term, to be recognized as a writer-director-actor.

There are many ways of giving thanks. Eating turkeys doesn't have to be one of them.

Becoming an actor wasn’t a choice – it was something I was forced into. At 3, you can’t make those choices... I supported my family, and if I got fired or missed an audition, I’d be punished as if I’d messed up in school. I was starved, because they wanted to keep my weight at a certain place; my hair was bleached – that was my life. I wasn’t allowed to play with kids on my block or ride a bike or play ball, in case I got a scratch – I wasn’t even allowed to be bar mitzvahed because I couldn’t attend enough lessons.

I've never cheated on a woman.

I had a very rough and tumultuous childhood. I often wish that I had the opportunity to make my own choices in life and choose my own path. But at the same time, I realize that things happen the way they're supposed to.
