There is something very very special, universal and easily identifiable among all Jews; it is beyond territory, it is something we all have in common.

I believe in Judaism, I was raised a Jew, I'm happy to be one - or proud to be one.

I've always had this belief that you want to write about universal truths.

In order to be universal, you have to be rooted in your own culture.

I'm really an honorary Jew, you know; all the best people are. I really do feel Jewish, even though I'm a Catholic. The way the Church has been behaving, I'm happy to be Jewish.

Though I am not religious in the least, I am very proud to be Jewish.

I'm a Jew.

I'm a Jew. I'm fascinated by our culture and our history, by what made us the people we are. It influences every breath I take. It informs and guides me. Without it, I'd just be a vacuum.

I believe that my own Christian faith does indeed make universal claims.

I don't like to publicly acknowledge being a Jew.
