The idea of working with David Fincher or Paul Thomas Anderson or Wes Anderson or Scorsese or Spielberg or any of the guys I really idolize is a dream for me.

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

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 want to be a good actor more than anything - someone you can respect.

I love movie sets. It's another home for me. Movie theaters and movie sets - they're just the best places to be. I love them.

Film is a collection of many mediums and collaboration and you're only as strong as the people you're working with - and everybody owns their mediums.

My ideal role would be the lead in a film with a director that I really appreciate and admire.
