I always believe that my greatest audience will come from 70-year-old Jewish men and Jewish women, but that's me from my experience of going to High Holiday services and being adored by the women with free candy in the back.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was nearly a teen-ager before I stopped assuming that everyone I met was Jewish.
I think the culture today is very, very different from what it was in the '60s, and I feel lucky that I grew up at a time when I had these very strong female role models.
I'm Jewish, I can say it. We're storytellers. We were the moneylenders... Therefore we tell great tales to get what we need. I love Jewish men. They make the best husbands.
But, when I toil in the field of Jewish culture which I frequently do, I am indeed a Jewish artist.
Most American Jews came from the lower middle classes, and therefore they brought with them not a lot of Jewish culture. The American Jewish story starts with Ellis Island, and the candy store in the Bronx.
The majority of my audience has always been women.
I've always enjoyed the communal side of Jewish life.
I think the attraction to Israeli women stems from the fact that we're exotic and the fact that there are many talented and beautiful women in Israel. I think that there is also greater awareness of Israel than before in the movie industry.
Sometimes people who are Jewish are held to a higher standard which sometimes we take great pride in.
I never knew any Jews until I got into show business. I've found them to be real smart and good workers.
