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.

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

They don't teach you just how to be in school. There's no class on that. There’s no multiple choice test for Why Do I Feel This Way?

I've been given so much, and if I can just give back a tenth of what I've been given, then it's all worth it.

If I was just considered a looker and wasn't considered an actor, where would I be in 10 or 20 years from now?

Honestly, there was a time after I came out that I really did not think I would be working again.

You have your private life and you have your public life, and just don’t let them interfere.
