I use humour a lot. My foundation is tragic, but my appearance is humorous.

In Kurdistan, there's a lot of hardship - a lot of wars, a lot of bitter and difficult lifestyles. And witnessing all those made me a director.

Lying and corruption are in the Iranian society in all sense of the world, and if you do research about married women, you see that a lot of them tell you they get a lot of enjoyment from breaking the rules of corruption, because just for the fact that they break the rules, it makes them oppose the system.

When you want to make a film abroad, you need producers and people who support you. You need a team that speaks your language.

I went to underground music studios. In the studios, I learned that you can make a movie without a permit.

If I hadn't turned out to be a filmmaker, I would have been a musician.
