Every time I'm shooting a movie I want to kill myself. Because I don't see the light in the end of the tunnel.

I put my ideas into practice. That may be the reason people hate me.

I will not cut my film because, because, because, because of the Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

Just because I believe in the identity and integrity of my country doesn't make a xenophobe or a nationalist.

My purpose is to make a movie to make you warm. To give you some heat. Now, this rational world has become a place where only what is cool is good. Do you cut the movie on the basis of the beat of modernity or the basis of the beat of your own heart?

Yugoslavia was a kind of superpower. Great movies. Beautiful novels. Great rock-and-roll. We became a superpower in basketball. The problem is that people needed to identify more strongly with it after Tito and his awful, tricky way of leading the country.

I've been around some very famous people, but no one has the effect Maradona has; people tremble in his presence.
