"My first job was in a movie theater. I worked at Cinema 6 in New City, New York. I was an usher. I sold popcorn."

“Sometimes you don't want to get married too much to a lot of rehearsing, I feel, when it comes to film, because there's so many technicalities. So if I'm in my head, I've gotten settled on something, I'm gonna have to change it if I get there and something was set that's completely different.”

“I specifically remember doing the musical 'Sweet Charity' at Stagedoor. I was playing Vittorio Vidal, which is a very funny part, and some other small roles. I couldn't really sing that well, but there were so many fun bits, and I just remember the tremendous adrenaline rush I felt from being onstage and hearing the audience enjoying it.”

“Sometimes it's okay to give yourself a pat on the back and say, 'That was cool. That made me feel good.'”

“I've gotten really good at not judging characters.”

“Just to get a job is always really exciting to me. I do feel there's a lot left for me to learn about movies, the subtleties of acting.”

“There's gotta be a human being in everybody, regardless of what they do or what people think they did.”
