We need to not be scared [of muslim], but understand each other. When you're around these people, you see they have much more in common than their differences.

I think it's your own ghost, seeing the work and just thinking if it will be okay to leave that around.

The movie [Miral] is not pro-Palestinian. It's about Palestinians. It's a Palestinian story, written by a Palestinian person. I don't know anybody else that could have done that

Nobody is perfect. I don't think it's the most scathing indictment of anybody. It's pretty innocuous. [Miral] is just the story of one family and one girl, living in that part of the world, and that's what goes on over there. I thought that maybe it would be informative and useful for people to know more about it.

Traditionally, photography is supposed to capture an event that has passed; but that is not what I'm looking for. Photography brings the past into the present when you look at it...

I think that truth is stranger than fiction, and it's nice to know the people you're making a movie about.

There's been too much attention on marketing. Can't we just talk about the paintings?
