It doesn't matter if a critic pans or praises my movies, I am only concerned about that one audience member and what their experience is.

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.

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

I did get bullied and I did get picked on and I did have that feeling in my gut of being incredibly self-conscious. I naturally gravitated towards my elders because I didn't know how to speak or be present with my peers.

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

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