Some Emir Kusturica's quotes. Goto "Emir Kusturica's quotation" section for more.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.
Tags: End, Light, TimeWhat you have now is a Hollywood that is pure poison. Hollywood was a central place in the history of art in the 20th century: it was human idealism preserved. And then, like any great place, it collapsed, and it collapsed into the most awful machinery in the world.
Tags: Art, Great, HistoryI 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.
Tags: Four, While, YorkI never wanted an independent Bosnia. I wanted Yugoslavia. That is my country.
Tags: Bosnia, Country, WantedI was a big fighter when I was younger. In bars I was ready to explode and fight.
Tags: Big, Fight, FighterI will not cut my film because, because, because, because of the Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
Tags: Cut, Film, WonderfulI'm fed up with democracy. In a democracy, people vote for the mayors. I wanted to build a city where I will choose the citizens.
Tags: Democracy, Vote, WantedI've been around some very famous people, but no one has the effect Maradona has; people tremble in his presence.
Tags: Effect, Famous, PresenceJust because I believe in the identity and integrity of my country doesn't make a xenophobe or a nationalist.
Tags: Country, Identity, IntegrityMaking movies is a dangerous job. Because you are always the one who stands at the center of the universe when making movies.
Tags: Job, Movies, UniverseYou know, in each segment of ex-Yugoslavia, multi-ethnic life is lost, except I think we somehow still have this in Serbia.
Tags: Except, Life, LostEvery movie that I do, if you analyze the stories, you can notice that in each story, that within the movie after the first 15 minutes, it could fall apart. Or every 10 minutes it has the chance that you lose the thread. On the other hand, if you succeed in putting them together, then the movie looks spontaneous and more like cinema.
Tags: After, Chance, TogetherI 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.
Tags: Christian, Family, IslamI've reached the 50th year of my life, and now every question related with life also includes thinking about death. When I leave, I want to leave to my offspring a clear idea about identity.
Tags: Death, Life, ThinkingIn Serbia a lot of people hate me because they want to westernize, not understanding that the western world is bipolar, with very good things and very bad things.
Tags: Bad, Good, HateMy purpose is to make a movie to make you warm. To give you some heat. Now, this rational world has become a place where only what is cool is good. Do you cut the movie on the basis of the beat of modernity or the basis of the beat of your own heart?
Tags: Cool, Good, HeartThat is a Medieval way of drawing history, in which they do not respect the law and want the rest of the world to respect the law. That's not possible.
Tags: History, Law, RespectThe advantage of the gypsy language, even though I don't understand it that much, the language is perfect melody. So if you propose the movie the way I do, then the language is just one part of the melody. Orchestrating all inside, and the language is following the meaning of what they say, and it's never the same as written.
