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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

I never wanted an independent Bosnia. I wanted Yugoslavia. That is my country.
