If I didn't have my films as an outlet for all the different sides of me, I would probably be locked up.
I didn't even know my bra size until I made a movie.
I do have tatoos, and I do wear leather, but there are other sides of me, that my film express.
I'm shy to call myself a director still. When someone says, 'What do you do for a living?' I don't know if I've earned that.
Be brave, be bold, be free.
I'm very happy and very excited when my adrenalin is going.
I don't see the point of doing an interview unless you're going to share the things you learn in life and the mistakes you make. So to admit that I'm extremely human and have done some dark things I don't think makes me unusual or unusually dark. I think it actually is the right thing to do, and I'd like to think it's the nice thing to do.
I've learned a lot from Clint [Eastwood], who's an extremely economical director.
We need the political will, and that often comes from the will of the people. So if celebrities or personalities can help to educate the people - not influence them, not tell them (what to do) - just tell them the truth about what's happening and let them form their own opinion, that will strengthen them and they will push their politicians.
Like every parent, when you start your family, your life completely changes. And you completely live for someone else. I find that the most extraordinary thing. Your life is handed over to someone else. From that moment on, they come first in every choice you make. It's the most wonderful thing.
The nice thing about being a director is that I can say, "I can only get into the room after the kids are at school, and I have to be back for dinner. And they're coming for lunch."
When I get logical, and I don't trust my instincts - that's when I get in trouble.
Some people go shopping - I cut myself.
I am deeply grateful to the citizens of Sarajevo and the Sarajevo Canton assembly for bestowing upon me this incredible honor of citizenship. I am so proud to now be a part of such an extraordinary part of the world and fellow citizen to the people I deeply love and admire.
