There is no privilege in restriction. In other words, I disagree with people who say restriction makes you more creative. I think that's a misleading slogan. I might have been more creative without them than with them.

It's been interesting to see how similar audiences in the East and West are, actually, and how it makes you realize that when politicians emphasize the differences between our cultures, it's usually because it benefits them more so than us.

I think that theater is the closest medium to music. It's very pure. It's for the elite of the society. It's not for everyone in the society.

When I came to know theater, drama became valuable to me.

In my opinion when you speak about relationships between people, you are actually talking about everything in their world because everything is contained in that relationship.

I would have had the same narrative, regardless of the atmosphere and the restrictions.

I really think that people who want to think more serious have to go and watch theater. Theater is a very sterilized art form. Not as much as music, but very close to music.
