Every time you sort of let go of the bar, you knew someone was there to catch you, and vice versa. And, I mean, come on. It's Method Man. It's been a dream to meet him forever.

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

I mean, the great thing about being an actor is you can investigate parts of your brain that might have otherwise gone dormant.

I always had a weight issue since I was a young kid.

I had to battle it out with all the usual suspects and whatnot and go to the callback. I was lucky that (writer-director) John (Levine) and I were sort of these two white-boy hip-hop-heads from New York. I think that alone got me in the door.

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

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.
