Part of what I enjoy about the theatre and acting is that sense of history.

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

Style, no matter how outrageous it is, is still an expression of someone's personality. And my personality is somewhere stuck in the classics.

I love having that creative discussion where, at the end of the day, you both feel better for having done it. Maybe it's a typically Jewish thing, where you sort of go at each other.

When you're in a place like New York or D.C. you just can't beat it, and it's so hard to recreate because they are both such distinctive places.

That's one of the benefits of working on big budget films. You work with people who have a lot of experience and you get to learn a lot.

Where else do you find great directors? Acting is one of the places.
