Abbas Kiarostami

In the total darkness, poetry is still there, and it is there for you.

I've often noticed that we are not able to look at what we have in front of us, unless it's inside a frame.

If you catch me coming out of a film, when I'm emotionally involved, I can tell you at that moment why I like it - but to talk about it years later is not logical to me.

The Internet is allowing us to get back to what's really more natural, which is that storytelling is a shared thing. It's our natural way to be communal.

I love Hindi films.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.
