In life, I'd much rather have people laughing at me than booing me.

I do work too hard sometimes, but my mom is such an inspiration. She tells me to 'chill out' and not take things so seriously. She will say: 'Go and have a massage.'

Method Man, for him to offer me the spot as the first Jewish member of the Wu Tang Clan, you know, was an honor.

There is a challenge of doing something new. Sometimes you have to suspend whether you believe in yourself doing it and just give yourself over to the idea that they believe in you.

The best notes are action-based and less, I don't know, heady, theoretical, because, as actors, we're too much in our heads anyway.

Sometimes, you run into trouble as an actor when you're not working with someone who is collaborative or doesn't bring themselves to the piece, and you sort of have to start worrying about yourself and protecting what works for you in the scene. I never had to do that in this movie because it was sort of this trapeze act.

I may be Jewish, but my religion is hip-hop.
