- QuotesLoved it! I had never been to Bulgaria. It is so funny because years agoa CIA guy came down to the Actors Theater in Louisville, Kentucky. Thiswas 1985. [Nicolae] Ceausescu [of Romania] was still alive. And he saidthat the only country worse than Romania is Bulgaria. And so here I amtwenty-something years later, thinking: "Oh, no. This is going to be terrible". It was so beautiful. The people are amazing. There's a veryEuropean kind of feel to the whole city, and yet it is its own city andits own country. And they are just blossoming. It was just great. (OnfilmingHitman (2007) in Bulgaria).
