I think being someone in love is so hard to define, so temporary, because retrospectively we often deny the state in which we were in love.

I've often noticed that we are not able to look at what we have in front of us, unless it's inside a frame.

I was mentioning with the digital camera, maybe this new fashion of filmmaking gives a closer look of what life may be like. But it's still nothing but a copy.

I never reflect or convey that which I have not experienced myself.

Having an international voice is not really about whether we speak Persian or any other language.

The [Iranian] government grapples with more important issues and we can maybe say that these films don't really exist for them. It's not about whether they like it or don't; it's just not very important to them.

If we're not going to take full advantage of digital, then 35mm is a better medium. Especially for shooting dramas - I have no problem with 35mm.
