“Three thousand people died at ground zero. Their families are entitled to a little bit of respect, to respect the memory of those poor people that died there.

“Growing up, I was the weird, theatrical kid who always tried to make people be in my plays. I've always loved comedy, but when it came time to figure out what I was going to go to school for, my parents were like, "Acting?! I don't think so.
