Am I an Israeli? That's a good question.

There are people who think I am Israeli. That's rubbish.

I would like to be more active outside of Israel.

I want people to have a good impression of Israel. I don't feel like I'm an ambassador for my country, but I do talk about Israel a lot - I enjoy telling people about where I come from and my religion.

I particularly love Israel. I've had fantastic experiences there.

Many occasions I've sat down with Israelis to say, where do you see your country in 10 years time, and work me back, so we can figure out the synergies and the connections between Israel and the rest of the Arab world. No Israeli has ever been able to answer that question.

Israel is the country of my birth. When I come here, I feel I'm coming home.

If I wasn't going to live in Israel, I had to live in New York.
