I would love to do a Western again if Westerns came back into fashion.

I always wanted to do a Western.

I'm crazy about westerns. I need to do a western once in a while. It's like you know, eating bread, eating pasta, drinking wine. It's in my blood. I need it.

I lived for 30 years in the U.S., but always kept my Islamic and Iranian culture and customs... even now, western lifestyle feels strange to me.

I want to do a western. Nobody does westerns anymore.

Although I come from a family who are Muslim - my mother is Egyptian, my father is Palestinian - my mother only puts a veil on her head when she has a bad hair day.

In most cases, my visits to the West are for promotion of human values and religious harmony.
