I know these will become old stories someday and our pictures will become old photographs and we'll all become somebody's Mom or Dad, but right now, these moments are not stories. This is happening and I'm here.

I'm not someone who works a lot, and what I mean by that is that I have a project and I focus on it, and I don't spread myself too thin. I try to give as much as I can to that project, and if we have a lot of time, that's amazing for me, because I like to really dive deep and do as much as I can.

It's like, to me, acting is like a child walking in the park, the better the actor, the greater the playground he has.

I started working with James [Schamus] early on, and my role as an executive producer was more about being involved in the conversations of putting the film together. I didn't have to do much work because James is the most experienced first-time director you could imagine.

I know what it means to be Jewish, and I don't think someone who wasn't Jewish would really understand.

I would love to shoot on film, but you can't really shoot a lot of footage on film, and you can't print a lot of it.

One day, I'll stop making weird faces in pictures. But not today.
