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.

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

The water cooler conversation in every job I've had is sports, it's what did you do this weekend, it's how are your parents doing.

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

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.

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.

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