It's the modern world, so it's pretty much the same. Everyone follows America, from all over the world.

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!

Israel is not dangerous on one hand, but on the other hand it is dangerous. Human life is just dangerous, in general.

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

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.

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...

However, obviously Israel is a much smaller place in terms of population. There are only 6 million people in Israel, where there might be 6 million people in one city in America.
