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.

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.

In many ways, I feel like having the opportunity to play Gogol in 'The Namesake' really was my dream role in many ways.

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

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.

To the folks walking around the District of Columbia, I would say this: Be careful.
