It wasn't anything that I thought I was going to be - a singer or an actor or anything like that. I really started acting just because I loved it, and it was more from a need to act and express myself.

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

I'm very picky and I'm very critical.

I really love Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Edward Norton. I also like Ryan Gosling and Rick Bentley. And of the girls I like Naomi Watts and Juliette Binoche, and I would like to work with...

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

I like to do variations of all kinds of different work. One of my roles in Israel was for the theatre - Romeo & Juliet. So from that role I went to - I was playing, I believe her name was Amanda in the U.S., on "Ugly Betty."

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.
