When I was a fireman I was in a lot of burning buildings. It was a great job, the only job I ever had that compares with the thrill of acting.

I don't think about the characters I choose to play, analytically or consciously.

There's a certain type of character that you can't help but come in contact with growing up and living in Brooklyn and Long Island. A certain mixture of moxie, heart, and a wise guy sense of humor.

Whenever you do something that is in a continuous take, and something that we're not used to doing, because it was all in the details of if you don't make one move seem natural it can give away all of it.

Every day's an adventure when I step out of my door. That's why I usually wear a hat and keep my head low.

I just like playing interesting, complex, complicated characters. I like films that also have an element of humor.

It doesn't matter what part I play, I try and commit myself 100 percent.
