I started doing roles and working with people that I really respected and became passionate about the art form of acting. And I'm still trying to figure it out. Still learning.

Jews took it very seriously to marry other Jews and repopulate the Jewish bloodline, and my father's generation gets very serious in my household when they're like, "You have to marry another Jew," because that's still kind of the mentality coming from the baby boomers. So I know that type of pressure.

I started studying filmmakers, and I would say early on the ones that really inspired me the most were like the field magicians of music videos.

I’d say a man is someone who is honest, strong-minded, moral, genuine, just a good human being.

The film makers are the true movie stars.

I'd say people that really inspired me at first were like, Dustin Hoffman, Jim Carrey... serious Jim Carrey though.

I really started acting when I was 12 when I was doing this television show called 'Jack & Bobby.'
