It's basically a story about obsession and madness.

I need to take a break from crazy, alcoholic, chain-smoking, sex-addicted ladies and try to concentrate on my boys and my family for a few months.

I wish Ismail was here with us today.

They say a movie takes either five months or five years to get made, but this took considerably longer and many, many struggles along the way. So it was a miracle that it ever got made and that I got to be in it.

I think it's just how it was meant to be. You can say it would have been a different film. As it is, this is the movie we made and the past is the past.

Allowed me to explore the kinds of dark areas that I usually only get to do in plays.
