There are always ------------s queuing up to pull you down to earth

The great, adrenaline-infused filmmaker Emir Kusturica may be pulling his latest movie, Life Is a Miracle from UK cinemas because of a 2-second cut by the censors; as he tells the Guardian, he's also "making a documentary about Diego Maradona, someone with whom he feels more than a little cosmic affinity. I am very impulsive too—I know how it can drive you into the zone of madness. We talk about that goal, the "hand of God", and the church that sprang up in Buenos Aires to honour the footballer, the cult of Santa Maradona. Most people only remember Maradona for the bad parts now... But he was a genius, someone who lifted us and himself up to the level of the gods. When he said after he scored that goal that it was the hand of God, to me it really was. There are always motherfuckers queuing up to pull you down to earth. But we must fly occasionally, we all have to feel that joy or we are nothing.
