'I’m in no hurry to actually jump into production,' he answered. 'I’ve been doing that for 30 years. Next month my son turns five, and I have a two-and-a-half-year-old daughter. 'When I’m in America, I’m writing. When I’m in Israel I’m an abba, which is Hebrew for father.'.

In conversation with Mitchell, he added that 'the idea of jumping on a voyage when they’re too young to understand it is not enticing to me,' per an account from Variety. He elaborated, 'I kind of want to not do whatever movie I end up doing until my son is at least 6. That way he’ll know what’s going on, he’ll be there, and it will be a memory for the rest of his life.'.
