“Parajanov, for instance, never wanted to become famous. He simply made films, loyal to himself. And he gained world fame without any prize. The prize may help, but it can’t have decisive importance. Every person should strive to be strong. If he’s strong, he’ll make good films. And people, naturally, will get interested in good films. It’s important to be original, if you imitate others you won’t reach success and won’t be considered original. If political figures don’t interfere and give advice, an interesting Armenian film for abroad may be made.”
