I grew up during the Revolution of Iran and the war between Iran and Iraq. The things that I saw. The impact. How it changes you. How it changes the way you look at the world.

I grew up on Harold Lloyd, Charles Chaplin, and Buster Keaton, and those were the ones who inspired me.

I speak Farsi, German, Dari, and I understand Turkish, but I haven't used it since 1985, so I'm a bit rusty.

I like 'Shameless.' The first season I just watched it straight through. I literally didn't get up. I just had to finish it.

I like 'Breaking Bad' and 'Game of Thrones.' I like that era. I like that fantasy world.

I left Iran back in 1985. I lived in Turkey for a while, then I went to Germany. I joined a theater company there, and we toured the country.

I think we're always intrigued by things we're not familiar with.
