About Me

I was born in Las Vegas but my folks are from Israel. That is a sharp dichotomy and it kind of explains who I am. I like intellectuals, and pseudo-intellectuals. I'm jewish and I study spiritual concepts. I like reading, going to the movies , watching old ones and going to concerts. I pride myself on being a Mensch. This in no way means I can't joke around, i'm a pretty funny guy. Trust me.

"The tzaddik (righteous person) acts according to the laws of justice; not only does he act according to these laws with human beings, but also with animals." - Malbim

“Hypocrisy, arrogance, pride, anger, harshness, and ignorance; these are the marks of those who are born with demonic qualities." - Bhagavad Gita

“The righteous even in death are called living, while the wicked even in life are called dead.” - Talmud B. Berakhoth, p. 78

I never liked school that much, I never fit into any kind of academic program. I never liked official systems of any kind.

I always sensed instinctively from the earliest age that I was being lied to.

I've never done a commercial or directed a music video. I only want to do my films.

Well, you have to keep your faith in the fact that there are a lot of intelligent people who are actively looking for something interesting, people who have been disappointed so many times. - All by Richard Linklater

"Hiney dog drinker, represent the thinker" - Nas

"Here is my final point. About drugs, about alcohol, about pornography and smoking and everything else. What business is it of yours what I do, read, buy, see, say, think, who I fuck, what I take into my body - as long as I do not harm another human being on this planet?"- Bill Hicks
