I Like The Incongruity Of How In Iran, These People We Think Of As Being Revolutionaries Or Fanatics Or Whatever Are Just As Aware Of Luke Skywalker And Darth Vader As Our People Are Back Home.

You Know What's Weird? Even I'm Not That Interested In My Personal Life Any More.

I've Consciously Taken On Material That's A Bit Too Much For Me But Not An Overreach. The First Movie, Just About Performances.
