Glenn Close is a living icon. You look at the work, and I think it's wild, because she thinks some of her best work was in Dangerous Liaisons and that's what I believe as well.

I do my best work if I think about what it is I have to offer.

I think I really produce my best work in Iran.

I believe in hard work. I think that everything flows out of that.

If a novelist tells you something she knows or thinks, and you believe her, that is not because either of you think she is God, but because she is doing her work - as a novelist.

I believe that if you eat well, you work even better.
