In the United States, we can talk about ISIS, but we can't talk about Palestine.

I was only in one of the John Hughes films, and I never saw the other ones. I didn't understand them. I kept hearing a really hip 40-year-old person talking in teenagers' mouths.

I remember the '80s being about the Cold War and Reagan and the homeless problem and AIDS. To me, it was kind of a dark, depressing time.

I never really saw myself as an activist but at some point the activist is the only moral position to take.

The situation in the film is like me going out to Venice Beach and talking to a homeless guy on the boardwalk, and 13 years later he's the president.

Usually I play people who just keep babbling on and on and on.

Most movies, once the action starts there's no more characters. You say a couple of dumb lines and then there's just explosions until the end.
