But people in Croatia are more relaxed, they work less, they have less money, but they enjoy life more because they are not so busy. - Goran Višnjić

Every time I perform, I work really hard to give part of myself to the audience. Then I do an interview and I read some story that just isn't true, or someone draws a crazy conclusion about my life, and it's such a betrayal. It hasn't happened here, but in Croatia, I've had to stop reading about myself. I don't think actors mean to be secretive - they just don't want strangers looking through their kitchen window.

When somebody is attacking your hometown, and you're just sitting in the basement, you feel really useless. I felt I had to do it to defend my country. That's normal.

If a great part comes up and the guy's meant to have an Eastern European accent, great; but if it's a bad part I won't take it.
