I grew up in the Lower East Side of New York.

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

I live with an 18-month-old Jack Russell named Chicken. He moved in about 15 months ago, and it was very hard at first because I work a lot and he doesn't.

Film is such a bizarre vehicle for acting. It's such a bizarre experience. I don't think you ever really get familiar with it. If you do get familiar with it, you're probably not that good anymore.

Pitching. You're pitching yourself constantly which is probably why there are so many plays about sales. I think also it's like life.

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 am so used to being able to express myself from being an actor. So when people don't understand me, I'm just completely lost.
