years ham pancakes
It probably goes without saying that I enjoy the potato pancakes, delicious hams and so forth that maddeningly turn up at this time of year.
stars three film
It's funny, but three of my early films were with Liam Neeson, before Liam Neeson was a big star.
long stage plans
I haven't appeared on stage in quite a long time and I don't have any immediate plans to do so, but I'm always interested in going back.
strong jewish-tradition keeping-your-mouth-shut
I don't really know of the Jewish tradition of comedy, only the Jewish tradition of not keeping your mouth shut. Complaining about all that is hard, unfair or ridiculous in life-having strong feelings, and not being able to suppress them. That, to me, is Jewish.
fun school play
I always did plays in school because I thought it was fun, but it just never occurred to me as a thing to do.
