I Have No Advice For Anyone On

I Wasn't Searching For A Common Denominator - I Started Wondering About The Challenge Of Working In Other Cultures. What I Reached Was The Sudden Acknowledgment Of The Universal Aspect Of Filmmaking.

I Prefer The Countryside To Cities. This Is Also True Of My Films: I Have Made More Films In Rural Societies, And Villages, Than In Towns.

Unfortunately, Cinema Critics Are Very Few In America, 400-500 People, But There Are More Critics Of Iran.

I Do Believe That A Film Like Ten Could Never Have Been Made With A 35mm Camera. The First Part Of The Film Lasts 17 Minutes, And By The End Of That Part, The Kid Has Totally Forgotten The Camera.

I Have Received The Digital Camera As A Blessing. It Has Really Changed My Life As A Filmmaker, Because I Don't Use My Camera Anymore As A Camera. I Don't Feel It As A Camera. I Feel It As A Friend, As Something That Doesn't Make An Impression On People, That Doesn't Make Them Feel Uncomfortable, And That Is Completely Forgotten In My Way Of Approaching Life And People And Film.
