Atom Egoyan | "You can talk about Holocaust denial, but it's really marginal for the most part. What is compelling about the Armenian genocide, is how it has been forgotten."

Personal Development

"I think the situation in Toronto is such that there are funding organizations which make it easy for a film to raise more money than it needs and very often that works against a film."

Money

"Though I am still very vulnerable to audiences - and it happens all the time - where for some reason the energy doesn't connect and, since the film is very personal, obviously I am made to feel very vulnerable by that."

Time

"I've just been very, very lucky with the film having been introduced in the right way."

Film

"The programme has ended, something has finished, and he has a sense of something having finished its course, and then all of a sudden he turns away and this other thing has just finished its course, this other person."

Sense

"That's a very odd notion because it involves seeing money up there on the screen - if something cost $5 million to make, they want to see that $5 million up there."

Money

"I have always felt that this story is universal. When I began to understand the details of the history, I felt that the most compelling aspect was not what happened, but what continues to happen and how it is denied."

History

"The whole film is about people being convinced that they can reduce themselves to their archetypes."

People

"There is a certain moment in the film when the son is in the nursing home and he goes to the television and turns it off because he sees himself in the image."

Home

"The father's greatest folly is that he believes he can be a much more simple person than he is; he is not really able to deal with his own complexity as a human being."

Family

"When I was planning Family Viewing, the Ontario Film Development Corporation came into existence."
