Human life is just dangerous, in general. You know, waking up in the morning, you could get hit by a car. Wherever you go, you could choke on a fish bone and die. You never know.

It's always nice to meet friends of friends.

I like to take on a different role every time or else I make myself bored.

I like to do projects that are off-the-wall and on top-of-the-wall.

I also love a film by Ang Lee - "Lust, Caution."

I kind of feel connected to all places at the moment, and I've done very interesting projects in both places (Israel and America).

However, obviously Israel is a much smaller place in terms of population. There are only 6 million people in Israel, where there might be 6 million people in one city in America.

In America, everything is big and more like a jungle.

I really love Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Edward Norton. I also like Ryan Gosling and Rick Bentley. And of the girls I like Naomi Watts and Juliette Binoche, and I would like to work with...

I'm very picky and I'm very critical.

I also like Juliette Lewis - I think she's great.

They're mine

If you have a secret, people will sit a little bit closer.

What I am looking for is not happiness. I work solely because it is impossible for me to do anything else.

If nobody throws all their rules at you, you might make a song with no introduction.

A man climbs a mountain because it is there. An artist makes a work of art because it is not there.

One time, I was so hungry, I ate the beans in a bean bag chair.

Worrying makes you cross the bridge before you come to it.

Some people can carry a tune, but they seem to stagger under the load.

I cannot fiddle, but I can make a great state from a little city.

People thought they could explain and conquer nature-yet the outcome is that they destroyed it and disinherited themselves from it.
