I Prefer To Choose Which Traditions To

In My World, History Comes Down To Language And Art. No One Cares Much About What Battles Were Fought, Who Won Them And Who Lost Them - Unless There Is A Painting, A Play, A Song Or A Poem That Speaks Of The Event.

On The Stage You're There, It's Live. There's A Beginning, A Middle, An End. When Something Is Funny You Hear It Right Away.

There Is No Role I Cannot Play Except A Midget.

What Moves Me Is Neither Ethnocentric Pride Nor Sectarian Arrogance. I Make No Claim That Jewish Culture Is Superior To Other Cultures. But It Is Mine.

I Remain Convinced That I Can Be A True Universalist Only When I Am A Better Jew.
