If you're afraid of everything out there, you quit going out there.

I write plays instinctively. I don't like writing movie scripts.

The scariest people to turn a movie over to are always the people who are drawing up the poster, because that's the first impression it's going to make. And very often it's portraying a very different film from the one the actors actually did.

In acting class, you're trained to express yourself as much as you can.

If you're acting, then there's a prescribed way to behave; whereas in life there's no prescribed way. So acting feels like a comfortable way to get through the day.

I have an iPad and I watch three things: 'The Daily Show,' '60 Minutes,' and 'Meet the Press.'

I grew up in Queens and New Jersey. I started doing children's theater when I was seven to get out of school because I didn't fit in.
