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.

I believe life is destiny, and really the capture the magic of life, and the same for the magic in the disaster.

I also love a film by Ang Lee - "Lust, Caution."

I like to do projects that are off-the-wall and on top-of-the-wall.

Human life is just dangerous, in general. You know, waking up in the morning, you could get hit by a car. Wherever you go, you could choke on a fish bone and die. You never know.

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

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