I Myself Had To Grow

I Was In Jail Four And A Half Years. When I Came Out, I Continued The Same Struggle Against Injustice, But Instead Of Using Weapons, I Began To Use Art And Cinema.

I Wanted To Be Left Alone To Live My Life, So It Was Very Easy For People To Pretend That They Were Me.

If I Make Two Films In A Year, They'll Be Different. This Is My Style - I Can't Have Just One Way.

I Myself Had To Grow A Longer Beard And Afghan Clothes. I Was In Danger Of Being Kidnapped By Smugglers, Though I Didn't Know It At The Time.
