My mood at the moment?
I feel like I’m in a fog.

My current role.
Being Iranian, I feel pain, sadness, but also anger. If I were there, I would go out on the street, but being here, I strive to bridge two cultures, translate cultural nuances and clarify misunderstandings. I try to publish enlightening videos and information on social networks, while measuring this responsibility. (Golshifteh Farahani has 14.6 million followers on Instagram, editor’s note).

Am I afraid of retaliation?
I can’t say I’m afraid, but I can’t help it. I am alert because danger can come from anywhere.

Salome, my character Romantic comedy
…funny, non-judgmental, sees the bright side in everything and I love that about her. I’m not always positive, but I try to be positive too.

Talking about yourself in an interview, is that the house?
No way ! Interviews force me to verbalize my feelings and understand things about myself and various topics, especially the history of Iran. I see these meetings as a type of psychoanalysis because putting words around a topic makes it clearer. Even the questions that make me uncomfortable push my mind forward.

The Iranian secret services arrested me for collaborating with the Americans, and seven months of interrogation and psychological torture forced me to leave the country. I was 24 years old

What do I think when I look at my makeup in the morning?
Being myopic, in a dark bathroom, I can’t see anything in the morning. Not wearing glasses is a choice, I don’t need details and it allows me to develop absolute sound.

Do I still have the holy fire?
Sometimes I get bored on long projects, but the characters I play always manage to remind me that the fire is there.

Is there a misunderstanding about me?
The reason why I am in exile. Many people think that I left Iran because I appeared on the red carpet without a veil, but it was because I shot State lieBy Ridley Scott. The Iranian secret services arrested me for collaborating with the Americans, and seven months of interrogation and psychological torture forced me to leave the country. I was 24 years old.

I lie in an interview.
No. Ever since I left Iran, it has been my goal to live in truth. I say everything, I’m happier that way.

A thread that makes me jump off my hinges.
It is rather a person whose name I prefer to keep silent. Since the man in this movie lies and behaves so badly with women, he deserves to be exposed for his true colors and I will do my best to do that.

Last time I was proud of myself?
When Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey retweeted one of my posts on Iran.

An opinion that makes me happy.
When it is said about me that I can act without thinking. In life, I have often acted more with my body than with my head.

What am I going to do after this interview?
Take off my heavy mascara and curl up on the bed doing nothing. These moments of solitude are vital to me because I’m actually a frustrated introvert.
