Everyone says villains are thankless parts, but those are really the best roles.

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.

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

I have Slavic fat pads that make me look like a chipmunk and arched predatory eyebrows. With that, you're not going to get funny. That's why I play so many bad guys.

The worst bar fights I ever saw were in London. I saw a guy break a pint glass in another guy's face in a club in the Eighties. It was a gay club, too.
