More From Aleksandar Hemon

Pictures! pictures! pictures! often, before i learned, did i wonder whence came the multitudes of pictures that thronged my dreams; for they were pictures the like of which i had never seen in real wake-a-day life. they tormented my childhood, making of my dreams a procession of nightmares and a little later convincing me that i was different from my kind, a creature unnatural and accursed.
Dream Real Childhood
On things she had to pack before leaving her home in advance of a forest fire, 1996. childhood pictures and pictures of my life. do you know how many pictures that is? not just this life; i have pictures from 13,000 lives.
Life Home Fire
I'm often asked by younger filmmakers, 'why do i need to look at old movies?' i've made a number of pictures in the last 20 years and the response i have to give them is that i still consider myself a student. the more pictures i've made in 20 years, the more i realize i really don't know. and i'm always looking for something or someone that i could learn from. i tell the younger filmmakers, and the young students, that do it like painters used to do—that painters do—study the old masters, enrich your palette, expand the canvas. there's always so much more to learn.
Years Numbers Giving

As i said just now, the world has gone past me. i don't blame it; but i no longer understand it. tradesmen are not the same as they used to be, apprentices are not the same, business is not the same, business commodities are not the same. seven-eighths of my stock is old-fashioned. i am an old-fashioned man in an old-fashioned shop, in a street that is not the same as i remember it. i have fallen behind the time, and am too old to catch it again.
Character Past Men
You know, i just tend to grow my beard out for 'parks and rec.' as an actor it's always easier to shave or cut your hair for a role, but it's hard to put fake hair on or grow hair for a role. when you look at pictures of me, the longer my hair is, the longer my facial hair is, that's just the longer i haven't gotten a job.
