I never get tired of smiling. I'm just the kind of guy who likes to smile.

Acting is a craft, and you need to study to be an actor.

Fake relationships and fake people coming up to me and all of a sudden wanting to be my friend.

I don't think my spirituality has affected my character. I feel like my character is much more cynical about his beliefs, and I think I have to kind of drop what I believe in order to play him.

Even if I tried to be my dad, it would be a mediocre, slightly embarrassing version.

There’s a few conspiracy theories that I believe in, but not too many.

I don't have to have any special skills or martial arts in my back pocket.

I feel like sometimes people on television shows can start taking things for granted, or they don't want to be here or something like that.

You never really know about a quarterback until he plays in a real game.

The faces in New York remind me of people who played a game and lost.

Just ten of the Jewish billionaires on this Earth have more than enough to transform the occupied territories into heaven. We can put the 'pal' back in Palestinian.

Whatever the truth is, I don’t see how it will help me get food on the table.
