'The Jungle Book.' It's one of the best animated films ever. I saw it when I was small at a cinema in Tehran.

But violence is news, to a certain extent, and people don't want complicated news. Because as soon as you realize things are complicated, your life becomes more complicated.

I don't think of myself as a rebel; I just say what I think.

I love the French for their sarcasm, their irony. I love them for their bad moods.

This clash of the culture, East and the West, us and them, Muslim and Christian, does not exist.

I am absolutely not a feminist, I am against stupidity, and if it comes from males or females, it doesn't change anything. If it means that women and men, they are equal, then OK, certainly I am a feminist.
