I've been able to work with great directors in Israel.

I'm an actress, and that's my work and my passion.

For Americans I'll always be Israeli, and for Israelis I'll always be American. But I really have no need for definitions.

When I was growing up, I was teased for being too skinny. I went to summer camp when I was 11. I wore shorts, and the nurse said to me, in front of all my friends, that I was anorexic and that she had to monitor me to make sure I was eating. Because of that trauma, I never wore short pants or short skirts until I was 20.
