Trying Quotes
-
I don't have emotions about a lot of things. I rarely get angry, I rarely cry. I guess I do get excited a lot, but I don't get sad and enormously happy.

Anyway, when you're my age and your hormones are kicking in, there's not much besides sex that's on your mind.

I learn about history and religion and politics. It keeps me tuned in. If I hear something on the news, I'm like, 'Oh my God, this is what somebody is talking about in the play that I'm about to do in two hours.' The act itself - of rehearsing, failing, and still persisting and trying to create - keeps me curious, keeps me searching.

I am not trying to say I'm a genius, but 'Underground' was the strongest attack there has been on Milosevic.

And this was shown in every cinema in Serbia.
