I was talking to my friend who's Israeli and she said that from the moment you're born, you're taught to hate the Palestinians. That's it. That's your life. That's what you learn from day one.

There is a real comfort with the position of the victim, which can either result in true empathy or deep paranoia.

In my own work I am invested in art as a way to break through impasses, whether those impasses are personal, social, or political.

We stay away from pop culture almost all the time, you know. That's sort of a rule. You won't really hear people on our show talking about Beyoncé or Adele. We try to make it a little bit more timeless.

There are a lot of men with feminine leadership styles and there are a lot of women with masculine leadership styles.

It's assumed that if you're a woman, you want to be the prettiest version of yourself. It always put me in a bad mood. It was like, "OK, I'm successful. I'm supposed to be happy. Well, why aren't I happy?" Part of the problem was that my looked-at-ness had become a priority over my art making. Over and over again it was like, "I don't have time for this. I want to work." I love writing. I don't love somebody putting false eyelashes on me.

I think generational trauma also plays a big part in the reactions to Israeli politics.
