It wasn’t just for my family, it was open to other friends  (Mohsen Makhmalbaf Quotes) A problem was the lack of cooperation of the Afghan community itself. The women, though living in Iran, were under cover and not willing to participate in the film, and none of the ethnic groups were willing to work together or be together  (Mohsen Makhmalbaf Quotes) Afghan society is very complex, and Afghanistan has a very complex culture. Part of the reason it has remained unknown is because of this complexity  (Mohsen Makhmalbaf Quotes) Do you know that every day, 10 people in Afghanistan are injured by landmines? It will continue for the next 50 years, because the country has the largest number of landmines in the world  (Mohsen Makhmalbaf Quotes) From my films, you can at least learn about Iran, you can get a sense of the history and the society. But no such films have been made about Afghanistan, so you really can’t know much about it  (Mohsen Makhmalbaf Quotes) I myself had to grow a longer beard and Afghan clothes.

I don’t think one can find any other time in one’s life to be left alone so much to read in peace like that.  (Mohsen Makhmalbaf Quotes) The style depends on the subject  (Mohsen Makhmalbaf Quotes) From 7 in the morning to 11 at night, I was reading. I don’t think one can find any other time in one’s life to be left alone so much to read in peace like that  (Mohsen Makhmalbaf Quotes) I was in jail four and a half years. When I came out, I continued the same struggle against injustice, but instead of using weapons, I began to use art and cinema  (Mohsen Makhmalbaf Quotes) Usually people like to categorise artists. With my films, I categorise people: if I know which one of my movies you like, I can tell which kind of a person you are  (Mohsen Makhmalbaf Quotes) When I came out, and for many years afterwards, it had become a habit for me to sit and read and read and read, like an obsession. I would take 20 books, and not come out until I’d finished them. It took me a while to change that habit  (Mohsen Makhmalbaf Quotes) I wanted to be left alone to live my life, so it was very easy for people to pretend that they were me  (Mohsen Makhmalbaf Quotes) I’m not playing myself. It’s a symbolic situation, where I want to introduce a fascist behind the table. I couldn’t have had anybody else do that; for it to be successful, I had to do it myself  (Mohsen Makhmalbaf Quotes)
