The actress (Heidi Swedberg) is this wonderful girl, and ... I love her! i couldn't figure out how to play off of her. Her instincts for doing a scene - where the comedy was - and mine were always misfiring.

Television, in particular, doesn't look for talent; it looks for personas. You have a great persona? You can be a TV star.

Israel is near and dear to my heart

Even when I was an actor in training, one criticism my teachers had was that I should think about directing instead of acting because the best actors see the material they’re working on through blinders. They can’t see anything but their role. I could never really do that.

I would work with any one of them again in a heartbeat because it was joyous and incredibly easy.

I'm always more motivated by the pain of a funny character than by what makes him funny.
