I smile so much at the theater my face hurts when I leave.

We do have a choice at the end of the day to say yes or to say no. There have been things that I have passed on where agents at the time were like, "you're crazy, why would you pass on this," because it wasn't something that I personally wanted to be a part of.

The minute I ever start thinking about what a character would do is the minute I bring my ego into play. It's the minute I'm putting a judgment on something.

I will say that my personal business is my personal business. And I will leave it at that.

I'm 100 percent Irish by birth, grew up Italian, and yet I constantly get cast as playing Jewish.

I'm not going to let fear rule my life. I'd rather be able to know that I've made a choice that's right for me, than saying yes because I don't want my agents to be upset with me.

It's good to get out of the closet and talk about it and find out other people's views.
