I Can't Focus When There's Too Many

In Iraq, Many Of My Female Friends Were Architects And Professionals With A Lot Of Power During The 1980s While All The Men Were At War In Iran.

For A Woman To Go Out Alone Into Architecture Is Still Very, Very Hard. It's Still A Man's World.

I Really Believe In The Idea Of The Future.

It Was Such A Depressing Time. I Didn't Look Very Depressed, Maybe, But It Was Really Dire. I Made A Conscious Decision Not To Stop, But It Could Have Gone The Other Way.

You Have To Really Believe Not Only In Yourself; You Have To Believe That The World Is Actually Worth Your Sacrifices.
