I love having that creative discussion where, at the end of the day, you both feel better for having done it. Maybe it's a typically Jewish thing, where you sort of go at each other.

I didn't think that a career in theater was very realistic so I thought the only thing I could make money doing and still be somewhat artistic was, god help me, advertising.

Its the difference between instinct and intuition.

I was a writer. I just wasn't a very good one. I was lucky enough to have a playwriting teacher who told me that I'd be a better actor than I would a playwright.

I grew up in the Lower East Side of New York.

I'm misrepresented as a scary person. I'm not. It's all about my size and my eyebrows.

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

As soon as you know what you're doing, you're doing it wrong.

I think that everything I've ever done at some point is part of someone else's legacy.

I'm not that interested in working with impervious people.

I don't think I've ever been a huge target for the press, and I value that to a degree, because there's a certain value for actors staying beneath the radar so they can play characters.

Use what you have got to create your world.

For as long as I am your mother and you are my only child, i will worry and hope and pray for you. Do not ask the impossible.

Writing, is not a race. Is to distill the soul letter by letter in a slow and delicate process that will take years.

In that way the long-awaited visit, for which both had prepared questions and had even anticipated answers, was once more the usual everyday conversation.

I can count the number of dates I've had on one hand. I wish that guys would approach me, but they don't.

I think any actor should be aware of where they're starting to stretch into what's not truthful.

I was a rhythmic and athletic gymnast for a little while. Then, when I quit gymnastics, I fell in love with yoga. So sometimes I think I'd like to open up a yoga studio.

We're filling a big universe [in Doctor Strange], and so the look and the sort of plasticity of us is really important to us when we're striking poses here. It's very important, it's really great.
