Jordan is a very secular, Westernized country in some respects.
Perhaps the only thing in my favor is that I am very tenacious. I don't take 'no' very well.
I did a pilot for Anything But Love in 1988 that didn't sell.
I can't stand outside myself and be anybody else.
I don't do what I do to try and break a glass ceiling.
I do have to say I have been very fortunate.
I can't change my gender, and I refuse to stop making movies.
I'm interested in social commentary.
I'm definitely not drawn to shooting on a stage, I'm just not.
Films don't cause violence, people do. Violence defines our existence. To shield oneself is more dangerous than trying to reflect it.
Something becomes personal when it deviates from the norm.
One should make morals judgements for oneself.
My movement from painting to film was a very conscious one.
The urge to purge the material I come up with is, I guess, an ongoing process.
