The reason I write is that I'm not in dialogue with my emotions; writing puts me in touch with myself.

When I say a spoken Hebrew sentence, half of it is like the King James Bible and half of it is a hip-hop lyric. It has a roller-coaster effect.

Before I started to make films, I didn't give much thought to the way the characters were physically positioned in the story world.

It's funny, but I think my stories - the good ones - they're much smarter than I am.

If you want to learn how to be happy, you have to know what is sadness first.

For me taking a pragmatic decision when it comes to art is almost an oxymoron. The reason I first picked up a pen and wrote a story had nothing pragmatic in it.

Hebrew is this unique thing that you cannot translate to any other language. It has to do with its history.
