The happiest moments for me, creatively, are doing readings of a play around a table where there's no audience.

The more people say nice things about me, the more I feel it's false.

The only way to be turned off to being famous is to be famous. And I only have like a tiny, tiny bit of that, and I'm already disgusted by it. But I realize that the only way to be disgusted by fame is to be famous, because otherwise it looks amazing. Then people stop you on the street, and it's like the most annoying thing in the world. The first time it happened it's great, and then the second time you have to shake somebody's hand.

Often times, being in a popular thing means that you have to compromise your own acting.

People ask me what my hobbies are in interviews, and I always say biking. But all I bike for is to get to rehearsal more quickly.

I grew up in a secular suburban Jewish household where we only observed the religion on very specific times like a funeral or a Bar Mitzvah.

As an actor, you have to be open to doing things where you look stupid, to be experimental.
