When I go to a cinema, I don't care if the film is made by a man or a woman as long as it tells me a story, as long as it offers pictures that shed light on my existence, characters I can identify with, jokes I can laugh at.

I will be very calm because I am dreaming this so I will wake up in five minutes in Sarajevo. I'm dreaming that I'm here on this stage and dreaming that I'm here in Berlin.

Nature and other human beings are something you have to respect and you need.

Cinema connects people: they respond as a group, you feel you are not alone, and you see you are not alone. Capitalism is destroying this social aspect of films, and even empathy, by creating the illusion that you are more important than the next person: 'You will buy this because you are special.' That is horrible.
