    On portraying a Palestinian in You Don't Mess with the Zohan:

    • "I have relatives in Israel. When I was growing up, all I ever heard about was "the other side," and it was mostly negative. Through this comedy, you get to see our similarities as well as our differences--but how we can live together, too. We're actors showing how the world should be, but it's still real. We had both Palestinians and Israelis on the set. The conversations at lunch were heated and raw."—Emmanuelle ChriquiWomen's Health Magazine: A Conversation with Emmanuelle Chriqui (June 14, 2008)
