"When I firstly saw and read the screenplay, I liked the part, and I was more relaxed when I heard that 'I Want You' had a small team and a low budget and that the work would be done in very relaxed conditions. So, when the delicate scenes were shot, they were closed, which offered relaxing conditions for creative freedom." - at the Balkan premiere of I Want You.
