I'm still ambiguously ethnic. I could be Persian - I could be anything. But I'm Italian and Jewish, so I'm a citizen of the world; that's what I prefer.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When people first meet me, they're always like, 'What are you?' as far as ethnicity. And I've been pegged as 'ethnically ambiguous.'
I wish everybody was just ethnically ambiguous. It would make life a lot easier.
I enjoy having the ability to play a variety of ethnicities. Being ethnically ambiguous allows me to explore many roles, and I enjoy being free to be whoever I want to be.
Whatever your ethnicity is, in this life you are going to be on a journey to discover who you are and how you feel about yourself.
Sometimes my ethnicity is relevant, other times not. I definitely get the best of both worlds.
For Americans I'll always be Israeli, and for Israelis I'll always be American. But I really have no need for definitions.
I myself am mixed race - my mother is Korean, and my father is an American Jew - so I've always felt other.
My mother is Greek and my father is Bulgarian. I am a first-generation American and native Los Angeleno. I was born and raised in Hollywood.
In America, I'm a foreigner because of my Korean heritage. In Asia, because I was born in America, I'm a foreigner. I'm always a foreigner.
My features are completely ethnic.
