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.

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 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.

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.

I am a living illustration of Bosnian mixing and converting. My grandparents lived in eastern Herzegovina. Very poor. The Turks came and brought Islam. There were three brothers in the family. One was Orthodox Christian. The other two took Islam to survive.
