Film editor 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
" 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
" Because there is so little room for _expression otherwise, a lot of people love cinema because they find it a way of expressing themselves. "

Mohsen Makhmalbaf
" But also, there are no films being made about Afghanistan. "

Mohsen Makhmalbaf
" But yes, of course, in many other films, there's a part of me that does appear, for example, in Close Up, and A Moment Of Innocence. "

Mohsen Makhmalbaf
" Do you know much about Afghanistan? I want to give you some statistics. Afghanistan has 20 million population; out of that, 6.5 million have been scattered around the world. 2.5 million have been killed in the last 20 years, or died because of famine or hunger - one person every five minutes. "

Mohsen Makhmalbaf
" 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
" Five years ago, Samira did not want to continue in the regular school system in Iran. To help her with her education, I set up a home school. It wasn't just for my family, it was open to other friends. "

Mohsen Makhmalbaf
" 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
" 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
" I like to watch people, but now when I walk on the streets, before I get a chance to watch them, they notice me, and look at me. "

Mohsen Makhmalbaf
" I myself had to grow a longer beard and Afghan clothes. I was in danger of being kidnapped by smugglers, though I didn't know it at the time. "

Mohsen Makhmalbaf
" 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
" I was able to slip into Afghanistan for a week. However, I had to go back into Iran to produce my film, shot about two kilometers from the border. "

Mohsen Makhmalbaf
" 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
