I had a conventional doctor who wanted to do things via surgery and drugs and then I went and saw this older guy, who’s not very conventional, but is very smart, who I’ve known for a long time and I said, “Here’s the numbers, what should I do?”

“He said: “You should become a vegan.”

“New York and Jerusalem are tied for my favorite city, but I tend to do more family and friends hanging out when I go there, so I don’t know if it feels like a vacation so much. In New York, I eat at as many vegan restaurants as I can. In Jerusalem, I recommend doing everything the tour books tell you to!
