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.

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.

The point of serving your country is not to do your own thing or to go rogue, but to work as part of the process.

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

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.
