Quote

I meet people and a lot of times, instead of saying, Are you from the East Coast? people just go, you're from the East Coast, right?, having no reason to have known that. I don't know what that is. Maybe it's just that I'm Jewish.

When you audition for shows in Hollywood, you go in, you do your scene, maybe you get an adjustment. It's sort of easy, and a lot of times it just feels sort of rote and simple. Whereas when you go to New York and you audition for plays, you walk out sweaty and intimidated and nervous and doubting yourself as an actor.

Read! Study never stops because publications never stop coming in. It's read and study. And think about what you're studying. Take it apart and put it together. Ask 'why?' And know the answers.

Goals aren't enough. You need goals plus deadlines: goals big enough to get excited about and deadline to make you run. One isn't much good without the other, but together they can be tremendous.

My dad told me at the very beginning of my career, basically, If you're gonna have a megaphone, you're gonna need to use it to do some kind of good. He has always been aggravated by any kind of celebrities that don't have any charities or love or passion or something they're trying to help.

Don't sell life insurance. Sell what life insurance can do.

You know, a man's life is the most precious thing in the world, isn't it? So isn't it odd that a man will insure everything but his life?

Do you know anyone who has a lease on life? It isn’t a question of if it’s a question of when.

I don't like horror, which is ridiculous because I've been in three horror movies, but when I see those things, I see camera tricks and fake blood and actors screaming and I don't know understand why other actors don't see that.

I get up in the morning and I put on makeup and then I say somebody else's words in someone else's clothes, and then I go home and watch TV, have a glass of whisky and go to bed. And I'm overcompensated for that. So it's insane to not use that pedestal to try and at least help someone or something that's in need.

Your biggest asset is a positive attitude. That more than anything else determines your earnings.

When you realize the writers start writing to who you are, you're basically reading reviews of yourself. And then it becomes this cyclical nightmare where I feel like I need to play into it, then I find myself acting like the character in real life.
