It's a challenge getting rid of an accent by yourself. I have parents that have such thick accents. They are like, She sounds fine. They didn't know. To them, I spoke perfect English because their accents were so heavy. I don't even want to know what I sounded like. I don't want to know!

I've always performed. I've done plays at home.

Our writer would play the piano and then come up with songs on the spot that included all of us. It was so fun!

Ever since I was younger, I would make table reads at home where I would give fake interviews.

It's a challenge getting rid of your accent.

I become obsessed with one thing or one look, a Bohemian look for instance, and then I wear that for a while.

I'll wear little dresses for a look and then it'll become only shorts for a while or only t-shirts for a while. So I go through different phases but I combine different things. I don't like things that draw too much attention. It's usually just things that complement me and aren't too loud.

When I came to America, I told my dad I wanted to be an actress.

I went to a dialect coach and she told me that I had five problems two were my Israeli accent and three were my New Jersey accent. I don't even want to know what I sounded like back then!

A lot of movies that come from Israel are about war, but there is such good, funny, rounded writing that comes from the country that I wish more people would discover.

I've always appreciated directors but I have a newfound appreciation for them and producers and everyone who does what they do that actors don't see. When you have one job, that's all you care about, that's all you're supposed to focus on. But focusing on so many different things, I was introduced to how hard everyone else works too.
