I'm Jewish. That's all. So I am in exile all the time. Wherever we go, we are in exile. Even in Israel, we are in exile.

Exile is not a time frame. Exile is an experience. It's a sentiment.

I do not feel an exile from America in any sense.

Lots of times you can feel as an exile in a country that you were born in.

Exile is my power.

In New York City, everyone is an exile, none more so than the Americans.
