| # | Quote |
|---|
| 1 | [on his film, There's Always Woodstock] I play a young, Jewish doctor... My mom's dream come true. |
| 2 | The Lone Star experience was tough at the time, but it really allowed me to look at things from a 3,000-foot high view. You can think something is the greatest thing in the world, but, as we know, anything can happen. It really taught me that I always want to make choices that I believe in artistically. No one can take that away from you. |
| 3 | Regarding being selected to portray Brad Cohen in 2008's Front of the Class, Hallmark Hall of Fame (1951) - It mobilized my emotions, which makes it so much easier to act. When you feel moved by the story, you want to tell that story. |
