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

But especially if you have the wrong people within your circle. Truthfully, at the end of the day, no one cares about you in this business whether they are your agent or your manager or your publicist.

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.

So the characters that I choose, I like to make sure that they have depth and that they have some sort of bite. It's more fun.

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?

There is going to be a hundred thousand doors slammed in your face before one opens, so feel ok about taking rejection.

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.
