It's good to overexpose yourself with work. But don't expose yourself too much with the press.

I want to forget what I've learned about the character, but the reality is that you can't, because you've absorbed it. It's there in that moment when you need it. The hard part is to trust it.

I was a writer. I just wasn't a very good one. I was lucky enough to have a playwriting teacher who told me that I'd be a better actor than I would a playwright.

I'm not that interested in working with impervious people.

As soon as you know what you're doing, you're doing it wrong.

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.

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