Some actors need to be rattled and some need to be focused

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.

As soon as you know what you're doing, you're doing it wrong. That's what I find with acting. As soon as it becomes padded, it becomes pat.

You know, I have a deep, deep affinity for Dr. Suess.

I'm drawn to people who share that sense of loss. All actors are trying to repair damaged relationships. I think that might be why I've been drawn to other actors.

And I think for me theres a lot of neurosis involved with where you should be or thinking about where you are all the time instead of being where you are.

I find that the most interestingly written parts happen to be the bad guys.
