It takes a real soldier to stay in the music industry and live off the things that have been put before me and be able to survive all this time because it has not been easy.

I have an ambivalent feeling about the Israeli army. Growing up in Tel Aviv, being involved in the arts, the last thing artists want to do is fight.

For an artist, a good place to be is you have some kind of influence and power to get things done, but in your essence you remain a nomad or a soldier facing a difficulty to be overcome.

If I was a political mercenary, I would be using my talents in another line of work.

I wanted to write a song about war and that classic 'We want you' recruitment style from the point of view of the recruiter.

Artists are, above all, men who want to become inhuman.

If I have got to be a soldier, I must be a good one, anything else is unthinkable.

I've achieved what every artist wants, which is that some of their work will outlive them.

I want to be a soldier as my father was.
