Once Again, I Arrived At My Usual

The Information I Have About Iran Is Second Hand.

I'd Heard So Many Stupidities About My Country Since I Left Iran. People Had Watched This Stupid Movie Not Without My Daughter [in Which Sally Field Plays An American Who Rescues Her Daughter From Her Estranged In-laws In Iran]; I Heard So Many Things Like That. I Did Not Make Persepolis For Iranians. It Was My Answer To The Rest Of The World, To Say, "let Me Give You Another Point Of View."

Life Is Too Short To Be Lived Badly.

There's This Scene In "the Night Of The Hunter" When The Kids Are Downstairs, And You Have The Feeling That They're Both In A Room And At The Same Time It Looks Remote. And You Wonder, How Can You Give The Effect Of Both "inside" And "outside" At The Same Time. And You Realize, By Watching It Many Times, That Around The Scene There's This Black Edging.

I'm Not A Religious Person At All.
