Early bird or night owl?
Definitely a night owl.
One routine you swear by?
Always aspiring to work out at least three times a week.
Can’t say I always succeed.
Can’t travel without…?
Earplugs.
Who or what has influenced you most in your career?
Too many to name. Probably having quite an unusual childhood – I grew up in an ultra-Orthodox background but travelled extensively as a kid. I think that gave me a unique entry point into the creative world.
Favourite city to perform in and why?
I have a soft spot for LA, the landscape, topography, climate, light, incredible food, and its proximity to both the sea and the desert.
Guilty pleasure/indulgence?
I’ll always choose a good fresh pastry for breakfast over anything else, zero guilt.
