When you are in a live-action movie, you have so many more options to express yourself. You can use your body and your gestures and facial expressions. When you are doing an animated movie, you really only have your voice.

Every character I play has to be the hero of his own story, the way we're all heroes of our own lives.

I feel like when I was 13 and I had to go to bar mitzvahs every weekend. This is the same feeling. You have to put on a suit every weekend to go meet with a bunch of Jews.

The movies that are really big, at least in my experience, oftentimes don't have characters that I feel as personally connected to.

Don't be a hero, live to fight another day.

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

Where I feel something that I had written was misinterpreted in a way that made people feel bad, that is absolutely horrifying to me. I feel so embarrassed and I feel ashamed that I should make people feel bad.
