It's still a mystery to me, but even though my mother was like an older sister to me, I kind of put her up on a pedestal.

I had no choice. It was just something that happened. I was always looking for ways to act out, and I got a camera and it acted out for me.

As a Jew I am aware of how important the existence of Israel is for the survival of us all. And because I am proud of being Jewish, I am worried by the growing anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism in the world.
