- [on auditioning for Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris (2011)] He said 'I'd like you to read something'. And of course there was this crazy kerfuffle with his assistants, trying to find something for me to read. And then he finally gave me this two-page monologue and it said 'Hemingway'
- [on TV] Breaking Bad (2008) is the best thing out there. They've gotten a lot of kudos, and I think they deserve them.
- [on being a fan of Woody Allen's films] Oh yeah, absolutely. Since I was 12 or something. I was sort of born into it. Growing up as an Upper West Side Jew, it was sort of my birthright, and my birth responsibility.
