I'm actually a very bad surfer, which is good because everybody likes a bad surfer. Nobody likes a good surfer.

I get panic attacks in big crowds.

I direct in the same way that I act, which is thinking about what the scene needs.

I'm kind of an obsessive-compulsive person, like, neat obsessive.

You should never ask actors about politics.

The funny thing is that I write and I act a lot about being Jewish, but I don't really think about it as a regular person.

Don't hit people; don't let it get you too angry; remember that everything you do can and will be used against you. And take a breath and have some perspective.
