The Essence of Success in Art
“I believe in Manouchehr Azari: If someone is not successful in any job or profession, they should know that they will not be successful in art either. In fact, if someone wants to enter this business, they should have their blood tested.”
Success in art, he believed, was not a matter of luck or mere talent—it required discipline, perseverance, and an inherent drive. His analogy of “blood testing” suggests that artistry is more than just skill; it is something embedded in one’s very nature. To truly excel, one must possess an unrelenting passion that propels them forward despite the hardships that often accompany a career in the arts.
Commitment to Serving the People
“I would like to be a servant and servant of the people as long as I am healthy.”
These words reflect a deep sense of duty and humility. Unlike many who seek fame or fortune, he saw his work as a service. His love for the people was not just rhetoric—it was the foundation of his career, guiding his decisions and sustaining his efforts even when financial rewards were scarce.
A Man of Emotion and Integrity
“I am a sensitive person and I hate hypocrisy and lies.”
Sensitivity and a strong moral compass were at the core of his personality. He valued honesty and sincerity, both in his personal life and in his profession. This sensitivity allowed him to connect deeply with his audience, making his presence on the radio feel intimate and genuine.
