What is the secret of your special friendship with Emir Kusturica?
My friendship with the Emir is how long and with Tim Burton. Now, speaking of decades. We met more of the nineties and since then our relationship is a constant, stable and full of confidence.

You once told me that very like Kusturica’s film “Father of the Business, whether it was crucial for the acceptance of earlier roles in” Arizona Dream “and the beginning of unbreakable friendship?
I love “Father of the Business”, but “Time of the Gypsies” for me was a revelation, a completely new kind of film as I’ve never met or experienced. Even then I realized that before you got a man who not only filmmaker in the truest sense of the word, but that what I’ve seen the film but not the magic and vision. On the one hand, “the Gypsies” has slepstik ?aplina and charm of a silent film, and, on the other, it is snolik and fairy tale movie, the dramatic weight of a Chekhov. When I saw “Time of the Gypsies, I knew that I want to work with this man. Definitely!

It seems to me that you and your film “Brave” as a director and worked under the influence of Emir Kusturica. You have such an impression because you are in the team included author and cameraman Vilka Fila?a and set designer Miljen Kreka Kljakovic?
No doubt - “Brave” is a film made under the direct influence of Emir Kusturica and his film, because I’m trying to change the shape and form. If my film has a depth and a strange sense of humor. I think I did it, because when the Emir video “Brave” said: “I congratulate you, you made the first American communist film. Ha, Ha! Ha, Ha! Excellent “reviews” I komplimentirao and Terry Gilijam saying: “This is exactly what makes the two sides of your personality. You do not know what you want to be in life, dramatic actor, or crazy person “.

We will do it again - režira?ete? And once you told me “never again”?
I wrote the script, directed, acted, worked and production. I must admit that I felt sick when I recorded “Brave”. Every day I wake up with the feeling that I’m in danger, that of an inside - emotional, psychological and physical. It’s not a fear, because fear is a good motivator and a blessed feeling. It was more that may signal the inside I will endure to the end. It is a great and responsible to work So I said, never more so. Now when I “opametio and when enough time passed, I can repeat directing experience. For the next week I will start to do a documentary on Keith Richards. While I am in Drvengrad, my editor, but for the miles of archival material, recordings of his concerts. I am very touched that Keith has accepted to be found in front of my camera.

Have worked with many famous directors, you are usually in tandem with Tim Burton, and there is Jim Jarmusch?
Burton, Jarmusch, Kusturica, and I belong to the same fraternity. All three are, first of all, my friends. They are completely different types and sensibility and temperament. Barton is the person you need to understand good and well you know what mean all his gegovi and gestures that are often its basic forms of communication. We understand the great and because so often we work together. In addition, by Tim Burton appreciate what has long been “unhooked” Hollywood structure and that the other side of the wall system. Jarmusch is a master to steal moments of life, that we ordinary people often promote. Barton and I have one Jarmusch moved his sense of humor that feels incredible to me.

Once you have arrived in Serbia, have met our president. Did you and he looks like a George Clooney?
I do not know if I like the Clooney, but I think that your President made a gentleman and a wonderful man. I met and his sweet daughter and the impression that he is a man who really cared about people. Takav Such is the impression left on me.

Drvengrad you flew in by helicopter, with Kusturica as a pilot. How was it? Not you any fear?
Once you agree on something, that’s it - in you and you only remains to accept everything that comes after! But the Emir was excellent. It is a great helicopter pilot! God, I can not believe that these words could ever get out of my mouth!

This kind of homage to what is now organized in Drvengrad you, often the namenjuje directors, actors rarely. What do you with my lite on this?
I must admit that I touched, especially because all of this comes from a family that I feel like it. There’s Emir, his wife Maya, Stribor and Dunja. Being honored in this way, is something to which I feel great respect.

Definitely will work together with the Emir, “Pancho Villa”? What do you think about this project and this type of movie character?
Yes, that will work for sure. But everything looks very good. It will be difficult and challenging but I believe that the Emir will do a wonderful thing. When I was Emir said that he wanted me for the role of Pancho Villa, my first reaction was that perhaps will be smarter to take a Mexican actor, because Villa is a national hero. However, knowing Emir surely has something in mind, has a vision and I am probably part of it. I accepted it with great gratitude.

Serbian audience you recently watched as John Dilindžera the “enemies of the state”, in the New Year television program broadcast all three films in the series, “Pirates of the Caribbean”. What is it that connects and separates the characters Dilindžera and Jack Speroua?
A different kind of challenge. John Dilindžer the true figure, with positive connotations villain, the guy who was public enemy number one but never the enemy of the public. A lot of it is known, but what I did not know is the way he moved, spoke. To solve that I realized that I grew up in the end, which is only two hours from the place where I was born and where I grew up. When I created the character before him his grandfather and stepfather and I had a solution for Dilindžera. The role of Jack Speroua I accepted because I wanted to leave their children something that will entertain them. I made his character the way in which mental and otherwise participate in the construction of roles and because I almost got fired, but the film experienced such success that after more we could not.

I still do not myself like to watch on the big screen?
If I can avoid the morning and look in the mirror while hold in your hand to brush her teeth, and it would have done. I think that the safety and security of the deepest level of ignorance. I do not like to watch myself in films, because they do not like to be aware of the finished product. What I like is the process of creating film and character building. Some keep it that way …
