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

I am finished with cities. I spent four years in New York, ten in Paris, and I was in Belgrade for a while. To me now they are just airports.

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

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.

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.
