I decided to take God and organized religion seriously, and to reject the secular life which in my teens had looked attractive because it allowed me to act in any way that I wanted.

I have decided to follow in my sinful ways, and have largely abandoned the increasingly religious life I was leading over the previous months, including several hours of Talmudic study a day.

In my right-wing politics of the time, I held that unemployment was usually the fault of the unemployed.

I'm not jumping into anything fast. I'm an actor that likes to choose my work and there's an element of good taste to my work.

I've had horror movies thrown at me and I just don't want to do any because violence isn't really good for society.

If 'Black Balloon' had come out before 'The Mummy,' casting agents wouldn't have been able to see me for the first time in 'The Mummy.' But now that 'The Mummy' has come out before 'The Black Balloon,' that's a very good combination.

Whether you do a play in front of 100 people or a movie that one billion people see, you're still affecting people.
