If you are going to remake a film, you may as well remake a classic.

If you fall in love with somebody you're working with, fine, but wait till your project is over.

It's good to overexpose yourself with work. But don't expose yourself too much with the press.

My publicist told me not to talk about politics but, yes, I think we have a president who stole the election.

No, I grew up admiring people who played ice hockey.

Part of what I enjoy about the theatre and acting is that sense of history.

Some actors need to be rattled and some need to be focused.

Style, no matter how outrageous it is, is still an expression of someone's personality. And my personality is somewhere stuck in the classics.

That's one of the benefits of working on big budget films. You work with people who have a lot of experience and you get to learn a lot.

The best gig is the one you've got.

The funny thing is that I write and I act a lot about being Jewish, but I don't really think about it as a regular person.

There's the private persona and the public persona and the two shall never meet.

When you're in a place like New York or D.C. you just can't beat it, and it's so hard to recreate because they are both such distinctive places.

Where else do you find great directors? Acting is one of the places.

You always have to create the character from the ground up.

You can think about your career or you can think about your job. I like to think about my job.

You know, I have a deep, deep affinity for Dr. Suess.

You should never ask actors about politics.

And I think for me there's a lot of neurosis involved with where you should be or thinking about where you are all the time instead of being where you are.

And you know, I hate to admit this, but I don't always think in terms of Shakespeare. When I eat, I do. When I'm at a restaurant, I'll think, 'Hmm, what would Macbeth have ordered?'
