Quotes
- Regarding friend and cast mate Donald Faison: "It's amazing. What I love about Donald is that we couldn't be more different - he's a black guy from Hell's Kitchen in Manhattan, I'm a Jewish kid from the suburbs. We couldn't be more different in personality. He's a big athlete, an alpha male, and I like being a dork. We couldn't have less in common and yet we have the exact same sense of humor, we crack up at the exact same stuff. No one can make me laugh the way he can."—Zach BraffHaaretz: Zach Braff Falls in Love with Tel Aviv (November 25, 2008)
