I treat both acting and writing as a creation - writing is just another element or aspect of it.

I always loved music, but it's not something I thought I was gonna approach on a professional level.

I'm connected to both places because I already feel like New York is my home. But then again I feel like L.A. is my new home and Israel is my real home.

It's always nice to meet friends of friends.

And that's how show business is like in Israel - it's very, very small. It kind of feels like a high school environment, you know? Everyone knows everyone and if you come to Israel for a month, you'll meet half of the actors on different occasions - not to mention in the doctors office!

I started acting when I was 13, but it really wasn't my plan. The actual decision to become an actor was when I was 17, after I didn't act for half a year because I came to an exchange student program in the US, and I realized how much I missed it.

The new film I'm shooting in Jerusalem - which is partly why I'm here in Israel - is something I co-wrote.
