In an interview with her on the pages of the “Al-Mawed” magazine in 1995 and in response to the question “When will you produce yourself?”, Artist Hanan Shawky said: “I am producing for myself?! How, I do not have any physical stock, and you might be surprised if I told you, for example, , That in the fifth part of the series “Heliya Nights”, I borrowed 10 thousand pounds in order to buy the clothes of the series only. As for the cinema and video, I do not gain from them at all. How can I have an amount of half a million pounds to produce a movie?
And she continued: “I have a dream that I hope will be fulfilled, and that we will reach as young people with the Egyptian film for the world through embodying the stories and problems of youth in what reflects our true reality.
On love, Hanan Shawky said: “My heart is on vacation that may be long until I find someone who loves my art more than he loves me and on her day I will marry.
On her choice of the work she is involved in, Shawqi said: “When I choose any work I submit, my focus is not on the script or the script presented or the director or the production, but I have completely different measures from that. The role that I am required to play, and this feeling is always completely honest and appropriate. For my artistic life, and since I started art, it has never happened to me that I refused a role that was offered to me and then I regretted it after its presentation. On the contrary, all I reject was from works, and I find that many I had the right to reject it after my offer.
