You know, in each segment of ex-Yugoslavia, multi-ethnic life is lost, except I think we somehow still have this in Serbia.

Making movies is a dangerous job. Because you are always the one who stands at the center of the universe when making movies.

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

The most difficult part of making movies is to keep making them. Maybe, you could make the biggest hit in the world, but then the big problem is what to do next and how to maintain devoted to a certain instinct that I have about films.

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?

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

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