ko mlada, zaista nisam shvatala kakva je to odgovor- nost. Možda je to i sreća, jer da sam shvatala, od straha sigurno ne bih pristala. Bili ste potpuna početnica na sceni? – Da, bila sam početnica. U svakom pogledu. Peva- nje mi je donelo gotovo sve. Posao, putovanja, ljubav... Sa suprugom Nenadom Šarićem Bradom, bubnjarom u grupi, bila sam u srećnom braku 25 godina, premi- nuo je 2012. Dobili smo sina Luku (25) i ćerku Leu (23). Čega ste se odrekli zbog popularnosti na pop sce- ni bivše Jugoslavije? – Jedino nisam uspela da završim fakultet. Dugo sam žalila, sada više ne. Ne žalim za sociologijom, na neki način sam kroz rad na televiziji, na različi- tim projektima, uspela da ostvarim neke snove. Naravno da je popularnost potpuno promenila moj život. Da nisam ušla u grupu, moj bi život si- gurno išao nekim drugim tokom. Kojim, ne znam. Čime se bavite kad ne pevate u grupi? – Kao solista ne nastupam, na televizijama radim od 1992. Sada sam na hrvatskoj Novoj TV, već drugu sezonu u INmagazinu , popularnoj lajf- stajl emisiji radnim danima uređujem i vodim ru- briku Kuhanje je IN . Veseli me rad na televiziji. U Zagrebu pripremam i mjuzikl Menopauza . Pre- mijera je bila krajem oktobra, naporne su probe, ali jedva čekamo da predstava krene. Koji savet dajete mlađim muzičarima? – Danas je mladima lakše jer postoje platforme, društvene mreže na kojima se mogu pokazati. Ali to je i teže, jer je zagušeno svime i svačim. Pame- tan savet nemam, osim da budu svoji, a ne kopije. Vaša deca su krenula svojim putevima... – Da, Luka u Holandiji završava matematič- ki fakultet. Lea u Londonu studira na džez aka- demiji. Odrasli su, samostalni i moje i suprugo- vo najveće dostignuće. Desila vam se lepa ljubavna priča. Priželj- kujete li novu ljubav? – Kad imaš tako lepu i jaku ljubav, ona ne nestaje. Svaki deo života i sve što radim podseća me na mog su- pruga. Deca, naravno, najviše. Ne razmišljam o novoj ljubavi, dobro mi je ovako. Imam porodicu, decu, prija- telje, mir i prirodu. I da ne zaboravim, najslađeg psa na svetu. Ne nedostaje mi ništa, osim ljudi koji više nisu sa mnom, a imam sve što mi treba. Kako punite baterije? – Šetnje prirodom, uz more ili reku, to mi je neop- hodno. Jedva čekam slobodne dane da pobegnem u svoj kutak u raj na reci Mrežnici. Stres pobeđujem prirodom, šetnjama, dobrom knjigom i čašom crnog vina. Kad se odmaram, nisam pri mobilnom telefonu, niti televizo- ru. I ne pratim što se događa. Planirate li neki put za svoj merak? – Posle koncerata i mjuzikla, ko zna što me čeka. Ta- ko je i najbolje. Na proleće se spremam u Portugal, ta- mo još nisam bila. Volim sva prevozna sredstva, auto- mobile, avione i brodove. Kao i svaka žena, u koferima nosim uvek svega previše. Čime merite vreme? – Nemam pojma koliko mi duša ima godina, ona se ne meri godinama, bezvremena je. Telo mi je žene u go- dinama. O trećem dobu ne razmišljam previše. Samo ne- ka sam zdrava i nek su deca zdrava. I biće sve u redu.
At such a young age, I really didn’t realise what kind of responsibili- ty that was. Perhaps that was actually fortunate, because I’d certain- ly have been too scared to accept if I had understood. Were you a complete newcomer to the stage? - Yes, I was a novice... in every sense. Singing brought me almost everything – work, travel, love.. I was happily married for 25 years to my husband Nenad ‘Brada’ Šarić, the band’s drummer, who passed away in 2012. We received a son, Luka (25), and a daughter, Lea (23). What did you sacri ce due to your popularity on the pop scene of the former Yugoslavia? - The only thing I didn’t manage was to complete university. I re- gretted that for a long time, but not any longer. I’m not sorry for so-
ciology, and in some ways – through my work on televi- sion, on various projects – I succeeded in realising some dreams. Of course, popularity changed my life complete- ly. If I hadn’t joined the band, my life would certainly have gone in some other direction. I don’t know which. What do you do when you’re not singing in the band? - I don’t perform as a soloist; I’ve been working on tel- evision since 1992. I’m now on Croatia’s Nova TV, for the second season in“INmagazin”, a popular weekday lifestyle show that I edit, and I present the feature“Cooking is IN”. I enjoy working on television. In Zagreb I’m also preparing the musical Menopause. The premiere was at the end of October; the rehearsals have been gruelling, but we can hardly wait for the show to start. What advice would you give to younger musicians? - It’s easier today for youngsters, because there are existing platforms and social networks through which they can present themselves. But that’s also harder, be- cause they’re congested with anything and everything. I don’t have any smart advice, except to be themselves and not copies. Your children have gone their own way... - Yes, Luka is in Holland completing his studies at the faculty of mathematics. Lea is studying at the Jazz Acad- emy in London. They have grown up, independent, and are the greatest achievement of myself and my husband. You experienced a beautiful love story. Do you desire
I have no idea how old my soul is; it doesn’t count in years – it’s timeless. My body is that of a woman in her later years meri godinama, bezvremena je. Telo mi je žene u godinama Nemam pojma koliko mi duša ima godina, ona se ne
a new love? - When you have such a beautiful and strong love, it doesn’t dis- appear. Every part of life and everything I do reminds me of my hus- band. Our kids the most, of course. I’m not thinking about some new love; I’m ne like this. I have family, children, friends, peace and na- ture. And, lest I forget, the cutest dog in the world. I don’t miss any- thing other than the people who are no longer with me, and I have everything I need. How do you charge your batteries? - By walking in nature, beside the sea or a river... that’s essen- tial for me. I can hardly wait for days o so I can ee to my little cor- ner of paradise on the River Mrežnica. I overcome stress through nature, walking, a good book and a glass of red wine. When I’m rest- ing, I’m not on my cell phone or by the TV. And I don’t keep track of what’s happening. Are you planning a trip for your pleasure? - After the concerts and the musical, who knows what awaits me? That’s the best way. In the spring I’ll be preparing in Portugal, I still haven’t been there. I love all modes of transport – cars, planes and boats. Like every woman, I always carry too much in my suitcases. How do you measure the course of time? - I have no idea how old my soul is; it doesn’t count in years – it’s timeless. My body is that of a woman in her later years. I’m not think- ing too much about the third age. Just let me be healthy and let my kids be healthy. And everything will be ne.
