I don't follow sports that much now, but I was a Phoenix Suns fanatic in the early '90s.
I feel equal parts lucky and scared anytime I get a job.
I feel very guilty doing magic because you're deceiving somebody.
I felt self-conscious going out in the street prior to ever even being in a movie. That's just me.
I grew up in a secular suburban Jewish household where we only observed the religion on very specific times like a funeral or a Bar Mitzvah.
I grew up in Queens and New Jersey. I started doing children's theater when I was seven to get out of school because I didn't fit in.
I had great difficulty in school interacting with others, and I took refuge in the contrived setting of play acting, which is what I still do.
I have a job that requires me to be in the public eye in the way that makes me extra careful about sharing information.
I have an iPad and I watch three things: 'The Daily Show,' '60 Minutes,' and 'Meet the Press.'
Actors dread working with studios because they dictate what you do in a way that independent movies can't.
Look, I don't have a Facebook page because I have little interest in hearing myself talk about myself any further than I already do in interviews or putting any more about myself online than there already is. But if I wasn't in this position, I'm sure I would use it every day.
I get very homesick, but otherwise it's a great privilege to get to travel for work.
Devils don't come from hell beneath us, they come from the sky.
As an actor, if I show up late somewhere or I say something that's eccentric, it's totally acceptable - not only that, it's lauded in some perverse way.
