Singing in Yiddish was a great thrill for me and came about through Joe Papp, the founder of The Public Theater.

I desperately want to see the day today and do the best I can not miss a shred of sunlight. It'll be over before I know it.

People on both sides of any conflict believe they are right, whether it's on a TV show or in the real world.

The great love of my life is music.

I'm on the board of directors for Peace Now, which works tirelessly between the Palestinians and the Israelis to create peace in the Middle East and we've never been closer.

But I loved the theatre and I was just doing theatre 24/7 and kept dropping courses because I didn't have the time and the chancellor thought that wasn't a good idea after awhile.

Movies were a struggle for me - they didn't come easy.
