I do believe that belief is the most powerful thing we have in this world. So, if we believe in something enough. And we have faith, we can make it a reality. That is basically the basis of my entire career and my entire life.

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.

As an actor, you're pretty much a hired gun. You are reading other people's words off of a page and doing what they want you to do.

I started working when I was three years old and was basically known before I knew who my own name was. My parents needed money, so at that time it became my responsibility to pay the bills.

I believe that things happen for a reason. I think there are no coincidences in life.

I believe I am God's favorite comedian. I think he is a really big comedy writer. He writes scripts. And I just follow along.

It's funny; I actually made poorer decisions when I sobered up then when I was screwed up.
