“Acting is an uncomfortable business because you have to make yourself vulnerable.”

I lived in Paris for six months when I was sixteen. It was a fend-for-yourself environment.

I’m as far away from technology as possible. But I like to be as present as possible.

I’m such an advocate for animal rights and environmental rights.

I was a model for eight years. That’s the deal: People look. But I didn’t like being looked at and never seen.

I played St. Jimmy on Broadway I sort of caught the acting bug. But I didn’t want to go full-bore into it because I have a lot to learn.

I tried acting and all of the arts, I even put out a record album, but what I like the most is business.

I really like acting but, just now, the more I read a script I find myself thinking I’d like to direct rather than act.

I mean, stand up you’re by yourself and it’s live and when you’re acting, unless you’re doing a monologue, you’re interacting with somebody else. Even if you’re doing a monologue you’re saying it to somebody and it’s not live so you can do it a few times.

I think personal growth has much to do with acting ability.

I love telling stories and acting and entertaining people. I don’t want to make fun of people.

One of the things I like about acting is that, in a funny way, I come back to myself.

I still do my comedy and my performance stuff and my acting so it’s not all-consuming. But I do find myself drawing more and more these days.
