Zitat des Tages von Milana Vayntrub:
I want to be able to enjoy my life to the fullest so I can add something to the lives of people around me.
I did a commercial for a phone company when I was five. But my first big thing was when I was eight. I was on the first season of 'E.R.'
Commercial directing felt like a very natural transition from my comedy, sketch, music video directing experience.
Comedy came early. I knew when I was a kid that I was silly, and I knew that I liked people who were funny, but I don't think I knew I was funny. I didn't really think about it.
You can't say that we need to give women more roles, and then when we do, say that they're only there because men want to look at them.
I think working with kids and seeing how kids are universally children - no matter what you do, they love playing on a bongo and they love drawing and they love playing - that is a great uniter.
The AT&T commercials are the most fun acting opportunity that anyone could ask for. That being said, directing exercises a part of my brain that is really fun that I don't get to try out as an actor.
I'm not really into sci-fi movies, but I'm into the science of space a lot. I love astronomy and thinking about the nothingness of the everythingness of space.
We're so lucky to take being alive for granted.
Being an immigrant myself, but feeling very American, and also being the child of immigrants, I understand the feeling of wanting a home.
I think a lot of Americans forget that they are not originally from here, that somebody in their past was a refugee.
Nobody is powerless.
In August of 1989, we arrived in Los Angeles where we had family. With their help, along with that of Jewish resettlement organizations like HIAS, my parents were set up with jobs.
There are moments in your life where you realize you could do nothing, but if you do, you'll probably regret it forever.
I do know what it's like to be an outsider.
I was three years old, so I actually don't remember much of the refugee process.
My family had to live in Vienna for three months, then in Italy for another nine, while we waited for refugee status.
In the late '80s, the U.S.S.R. loosened its restrictions on immigration. When the government was like, 'Y'all wanna bounce?' my family, along with tens of thousands of other Jews ran for the door in an attempt to make a better life in America.
We had a lot of help when we got to America.
