I actually have a life I said I wanted to have. I wanted to tell stories I want and be with my family. I'm whispering it, because I'm a quarter Jewish and afraid it's all going to be taken away.
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.
