As a screenwriter and a half-Jew, I tend to look at the glass half-empty.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If we talk about the glass being half empty or half full, I want to know what does the glass look like from underneath the table?
Comedy historians take note: this Gottfried character doesn't have the best eye for detail - and, for a Jew, he doesn't have the best eye for retail, either.
We need to quit arguing about whether the glass is half full or half empty - and instead acknowledge that there's not quite enough water to go around.
I guess I just prefer to see the dark side of things. The glass is always half-empty. And cracked. And I just cut my lip on it. And chipped a tooth.
I suppose I'm always trying to break down the wall between my characters and myself. I'm trying to make the film as expressive and personal as I can, even if I can't explain, for example, how important it is for me to be Jewish.
At my core, the glass isn't half-empty - it's not even what I ordered in the first place.
I'm half Jewish, but no one believes me because my looks lean a little WASP-y... It's sometimes hard for me to get the roles I'm drawn to.
I am a positive person. I never think of the glass as half empty. I just keep pushing forward.
To me, the glass is always half full, never half empty.
There's an unwritten law that you cannot have a Jewish character in a film who isn't 100 percent perfect, or you're labeled anti-Semitic.
