I'm not convinced about marriage. Divorce is so easy, and that fact that gay people are not allowed to marry takes much of the meaning out of it. Committing yourself to one person is sacred.

When I was in nursery school, the teachers asked me, y'know, 'What does your dad do for a living?' So I said 'He helps women get pregnant!' They called my mom and they were like, 'What exactly does your husband do?'

I'd say I got three or four offers for films that had female directors, so in my career I haven't had that opportunity before. That's exciting.

I was really excited to get to shave my head - it's something I'd wanted to do for a while and now I had a good excuse. It was nice to shed that level of vanity.

Point shoes are torture devices.

As someone who was born in Israel, you're put in a position of defending Israel because you know how much is at stake.

If I had known my own limitations, I never would have taken the risk, and the risk led to one my greatest artistic and personal experiences.
