I write plays and movies, I live and work at the borderline between word and image just as any cartoonist or illustrator does. I'm not a pure writer. I use words as the score for kinetic imagistic representations.

I don't think of myself as an illustrator. I think of myself as a cartoonist. I write the story with pictures - I don't illustrate the story with the pictures.

I don't have any outside view of myself, and if I did, I would probably be creatively inhibited. I just write in the way that I write.

I write everything with fountain pens. I don't know why. I've done it since I was bar mitzvahed. I was given a fountain pen, a Parker fountain pen, and I loved it, and I've never liked writing anything with pencils or ball-points.

When I write in Hebrew, I don't look for sophistication in music; it's just pure emotion that comes out.

I don't write tracts, I write novels. I'm not a preacher, I'm a fiction writer.
