Sometimes I attract roles that are necessary either for personal growth or enlightenment.

It's terrifying to be the lead. There's a moment of excitement, and then pure terror.

I just hate one-dimensional portrayals of religion; it's too cheap and easy to do, and ignores the nuances that go into having a belief system.

In these times, in this harsh, rude, warring world that we live in, where most of the bloodshed is 'My god is greater than your god,' and we're fighting in the name of our god, we have to find a way to peaceably coexist, spiritually.

I’m someone who can sit in a Buddhist temple, and I can sit with Pentecostals or with Orthodox Jews, and I still feel like I am in tune with all of them.

There are some times when I think acting can be a noble profession. And when those rare roles come along, like Down to the Bone, you have the opportunity to be of service.

Partying has never been my thing. I've been around some wild people. I've been in the same room and watched them experiment, and that's been entertaining.
