some extracts of interviews
“It never starts from an idea (when I thinking about a film). It starts from the feeling. Something I feel about for example people who stay in love when they old, second film something I feel about inter-racial marriage…”
“I never have ambition. Life is too short for ambition.”
“I think the fact that ours is an imperfect country makes it great for the writing (of story). For example if you were in a squeak clean city, there is nothing much to write about. But if you live in New York I guess there is plenty to write about. May be painful but its have ups and downs…. ”
訪談摘錄
“在構思電影時，我從不是從一個想法，而是從一種感觸開始。有時我對於比如說當人們在年紀大的時候還在相戀相愛有所感觸...第二部電影是我對於不同種族通婚的感觸...”
“我從來沒有野心。對雄心壯志而言，生命是過於短促了。”
“我覺得我們的國家的不完美有助於寫劇本和故事。比方說你在一個乾淨無瑕的城市裡，就沒有太多值得寫的東西。但是如果你生活在紐約，我想你會有很多題材可以書寫...可能心會有些疼，但是有高低起伏...”“
"In a way, its good that we have problems. Because its only by overcoming them, we become better people...We are meant to have fault. How you jude a person is by how well they overcome them. No body is born faultless. Fault are good in a way."

“有時候，有困難是一件好事。因為只有解決了困難，我們才能成為更好的人...我們一定會有過錯，你可以看人們如何克服過失來衡量他的為人。沒有人不犯錯，所以過錯有時候是好的。”

Yasmin Ahmad. through her creative works, made us laugh, feel, cry and most of all she made us think of one another without prejudice.
In this interview on July 21, we heard her talk candidly about being colourless and living as one people.
"In a way, its good that we have problems. Because its only by overcoming them, we become better people...We are meant to have false. How you jude a person is by how well trhey overcome them. "
