I was always a little unsteady in my self-belief. Then there was the Jewish thing. I love being Jewish, I have no problem with it at all. But it did become like a scar, with all these people saying you don't look it.

The funny thing is that I write and I act a lot about being Jewish, but I don't really think about it as a regular person.

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.

While I am very much Jewish 'identified,' I'm not a very religious person.

Hey, I may loathe myself, but it has nothing to do with the fact that I'm Jewish.

Being Jewish has always been important to me. I now have 6M tattooed on the inside of my left arm. It's only a half-inch, but every time anyone sees it, they're reminded of the six million who perished, and so am I.

Judaism is interesting in that there is something there that I think you just can't understand if you're not a Jew - it moves into a realm of true mystery.

I think that being Jewish is in some ways unique because there's this conflation of race, culture and religion.
