"I think originally because of my name, I got a lot of Jewish parts. Some of the best performances of my life were my portrayals of Jews, like Roy Cohn [in Angels in America], a character I have no regard for. After it became known I was Syrian, they started offering me Arabic roles. The Jewish parts are much richer. They don’t draw Arabs very well. Usually they’re bad guys."

"What a great relief, to become a feminist. As a man, I don’t have to carry the world on my shoulders."
