I can be pretty persuasive if I believe in something strongly enough.

I know my mom said as early as she can remember letting me watch TV, my one treat a week when I was like 6 was to stay up and watch 'Saturday Night Live.'

In 2002 Mom and I got a chance to act together in a play called 'Pitching to the Star,' with her brother, Robert Lipton. The three of us on the same stage - that was such a special experience for me.

The minute you feel like there's nothing left to learn, whether it's with your career or life, you're done.

If you feel like you can't actually do the right thing and you're headed off into the field of justice, maybe there's no point in going into it.

There's no sense that you can knock on your neighbor's door or be part of a local community group, and that's part of your responsibility as a human being.

I probably wouldn't be acting if I didn't grow up in Hollywood.
