I personally don't feel the need to be radical for its own sake, but I probably couldn't if I tried anyway.
I meet people who are in movies, and the stuff that they write is terrible, but nobody tells them that because they're famous. So I worry that my stuff might be like that, too.
If you're afraid of everything out there, you quit going out there.
I think I'm an abstinence symbol. If I take my shirt off, people will not have babies.
It's really hard to copy another actor and be successful. In fact, that's usually the reason people are not good, because they're copying something they've seen, but, for some reason with their face and their body, it doesn't work.
It's a struggle for me to watch things I've been in because I'm just distracted and self-critical.
Don't be a hero, live to fight another day.
Poor people are gross and they 'smell bad
Acting is a weird profession. It's very disquieting, and at the time it just made me so confused. It's only when you step away from a movie for several weeks or months that you start to put things in perspective.
I grew up in an apolitical household. I never left the country. When I became an adult, I started traveling and became interested in politics, and I probably talked about things in a silly, ignorant way.
I feel like when I was 13 and I had to go to bar mitzvahs every weekend. This is the same feeling. You have to put on a suit every weekend to go meet with a bunch of Jews.
I just can't - I can't exist in normal group situations. A classroom, where you have to sort of jockey for position, compete for attention - I would just withdraw.
Everyone's a geek in some way or other. Everyone's an outsider.
I find it very difficult to do normal things without getting approached.
