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.

People want to put women in one box, and I'm interested in how women can be everything at once.

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.

I'm a Jew.

I am Jewish, Italian, American, Catholic.

I suppose I'm always trying to break down the wall between my characters and myself. I'm trying to make the film as expressive and personal as I can, even if I can't explain, for example, how important it is for me to be Jewish.

But, when I toil in the field of Jewish culture which I frequently do, I am indeed a Jewish artist.

I'm half Jewish, but no one believes me because my looks lean a little WASP-y... It's sometimes hard for me to get the roles I'm drawn to.
