-- Dejan Stojanovic

“The passions grafted on wounded pride are the most inveterate; they are green and vigorous in old age.”
“It's a good feeling to be at a place where you know who you are as an artist. I didn't know back then, I just wanted to give my family a better life and myself. I wanted to sing, but I didn't know as an artist who I wanted to be and because of all those experiences, it helped shape me into who I am and what I've now realized and what it is that brings me happiness which is when I pick up the guitar and do records.”
“I had heard so much negative talk about our generation, that we're slackers and young fogies, that I knew wasn't true of the people I know.”
“People are easily intimidated when they decorate their home. They think it has to be one way. But there's no one way. It's your way, your style. At the end of the day, you have to live there. It's your cocoon, your nest. You have to be happy in it.”
