Director Quentin Tarantino has revealed he and his wife Daniella Pick will be relocating from Israel to London for a time early next year, as he prepares to start work on a West End play.
Tarantino has been based in Israel in recent years since marrying Israeli singer Pick, the daughter of late singer and songwriter Svika Pick. The couple has two young children.
Speaking to the podcast “The Church of Tarantino,” the director said he has focused in recent years on his family rather than his next movie, which would be incredibly demanding and likely prevent him from spending much time with loved ones.
“When my daughter comes home at three from school, her first thing is ‘Aba aba aba.’ That’s Hebrew for daddy. She hasn’t seen daddy all day, so she comes up ‘Aba aba aba aba,’ and you know, I like being there,” he said.
“It’s just really precious to me, you know, and three years from now, four years from now, it’ll be maybe a little less precious. They’ll start moving on. They’ll start having their own friends and everything, but just right now is not the time to run away with the circus.”

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
