Comedy works best when people recognise themselves.

I'm a singer and performer in a hybrid show that's standup, music and audience participation.

Do people absolutely need the arts to get by day-to-day? You can make that claim, but they also really need a lot of things before that.

What you find with singers, no matter where they're from, if they have any kind of an accent, the accent tends to disappear when they sing.

I went into performing for the community. Being backstage with your company of fellows is the best part of working in live theater. That energy, that combined focus, the synergy - it's addictive.

Really, the golden egg of doing a series is that you cross that very stupid bridge that says 'Name Actors Only' in casting sessions. All of a sudden, you become a name actor; it gives you marquee value. That's all that a series does.

Things that make me laugh range from a wonderful stand-up like Jerry Seinfeld, Louis C.K. and Chris Rock to my son Gabe, who does great improv work. I also look backwards to the great comedic actors like Jackie Gleason, Paul Lynde and Phil Silvers.

Jerry Seinfeld made a puddle, I stepped in it, and wonderful things happened.

I can get motivated seeing a kid at my son's school overcome a learning disability.

I found that looking at the Israeli/Palestinian conflict from an outside vantage point was actually quite distancing. The history of the conflict, the personalities, the violence, the distrust, and the seeming lack of viable solutions made meaningful involvement feel impossible. What changed that, for me, was changing the vantage point.

Television, in particular, doesn't look for talent; it looks for personas. You have a great persona? You can be a TV star.

Theater is very much the world I'd like to get back to, particularly in New York, both as an actor and director.

The world of the stage and the performance on the stage usually does not tend to translate very well - it doesn't tend to hold very well - once cameras are on it; it's not like it's terrible or embarrassing or bad anything, but, I, as an actor, would perform a role differently for an audience than I would for just cameras.

I do think that the days of gathering around a television set that functions merely as a television set, to receive a live broadcast of some networked programming, those days are probably numbered.

We see and hear about Israelis and Palestinians only when they are defined by the global media as 'occupiers,' 'terrorists,' and 'victims.' But we forget that they are fathers and mothers and sons and daughters and neighbors and doctors and shop-owners and farmers and students.

Do you want to have a career that goes beyond, you know, 11 minutes in a 22-minute television show every week? Some people don't. That's fine.

I started balding at age 17 and after first being sad, I really embraced it.

Jason Alexander 50 quotes

Even when I was an actor in training, one criticism my teachers had was that I should think about directing instead of acting because the best actors see the material they’re working on through blinders. They can’t see anything but their role. I could never really do that.

Divorce is very difficult, especially on the kids. Of course, I'm the result of my parents having stayed together, so you never know.
