In my films, I try to give people as little information as possible, which is still much more than what they get in real life. I feel that they should be grateful for the little bit of information I give them.

If I do continue to have the opportunity to work in Iran, that's very much what I'd prefer to do.

I'm still very grateful to digital cameras in general, but I didn't have this feeling with the RED one.

Film is very much a universal and common voice, and we can't limit it to one particular culture.

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.

We are nothing but a link between our culture and what we can actually produce.

I really think that I don't mind people sleeping during my films, because I know that some very good films might prepare you for sleeping or falling asleep or snoozing. It's not to be taken badly at all.
