In Iran, as in all developing countries, they wanted to copy the outside world, without knowing what was good for our own country.

Some Iranian doctors from Europe and America go to Iran and operate for free or teach medical students there. The other day, I met a gentlemen who is helping to protect wildlife in Iran. It's good that many of them don't forget about their country. It's important.

You have to judge everybody on balance, all the positives and all the negatives. In the life of my husband, I think the positives outweigh the negatives.

I wanted to preserve the old buildings, not to destroy them and build something new.

I believe in freedom for women to have equal rights - the right to work, the right to hold high positions, the right to take custody of their children after divorcing.

I hope in the end there will be a solution for the world, because we have advanced in so many ways, and still the world has so many different problems.

It's normal that countries work for their own benefit, political and economic.
