I'm also politically independent so I'm not a fan of either the Democrats in Congress or the Republicans in Congress.

I was a vegetarian when we shot the first film(Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle), and I generally eat organic as much as possible. I know this is so disappointing to the audience, which is why I don't talk about it a lot, but I don't smoke weed, I don't eat fast food.

The thing that I enjoy about being an actor and the thing that I enjoy about the arts in general is the ability to make the audience feel an emotion that they weren't intending to feel before they went in.

I think the media loves taking the most absurd clips for a sport that has become congressional politics.

Growing up, I always had two interests and two passions; one being public service and the other being the arts and acting.

What I love about L.A. and Washington, D.C. is that they're almost the opposite of each other. L.A. is a very creative space while D.C. is a very cerebral space. So, they're the ying and the yang in my world. I like them both for their own reasons.

Cable news is more titillating to talk about who's up and who's down and all that nonsense as opposed to what's actually done.
