imam još familije tamo, ali fale mi prijatelji, naročito oni koju nisu među nama. Kada se okrenete iza sebe i kada biste mogli da uskočite u vremeplov i vratite se, ima li nešto što biste uradili dru- gačije? – Nisam siguran da bih se ba- vio muzikom. Glas koji imam mo- že se nazvati božjim darom i to sam ispoštovao. Ali kada bih krenuo is- početka, završio bih sigurno ško- lu, možda bih bio sportista. S ob- zirom na uspešnost, ovo nije ni lak posao, ne možeš uvek funkcionisa- ti kako bi hteo. Nazivali su vas idealnim juna- kom mladih ljudi, danas su ju- naci sasvim drugačiji od vas... – Svako vreme ima svoje junake. Uvek su ljudi koji su na javnoj sce- ni neka vrsta junaka, svako za pone- koga. Niko nije junak svima. Neko je uspešan sportista, neko glumac, svako ima svoju publiku. Moguće je da su danas drugačije profesije u modi. Uvek postoji mogućnost da se neko dokaže i utiče na ciljnu gru- pu. Ja ne žalim za onim vremenom. Malo je onih koji kao vi traju decenijama. I sada kao od šale rasprodate pet Arena. Šta mi- slite da vas izdvaja od ostalih? – Čovek ne može sam govori- ti o uspehu, neko ko analizira neči- ju karijeru bolje bi rekao. Za mene je najvažniji profesionalizam. Treba da voliš publiku, da imaš različit re- pertoar, da budeš dobar pevač i pre svega prirodna osoba, ono što jesi istinski. Da koncerti budu korektni, kao i odnos prema publici, da pesme budu dovoljno komercijalne, a opet da traju, da ne budu za kratko vre- me. Dobro je napraviti pauzu, da te se publika zaželi, a ne da konstan- tno budeš u javnosti. Kako ste uspeli da za sve ovo vreme ne učinite baš ništa lo- še ni ružno, da ne budete uče- snik skandala i estrade u nje- nom najgorem obliku? Čime se branite od iskušenja i zala? – Živim svoj život i nisam od te fele. Skandali mi nisu potrebni za ka- rijeru. Pokušavam da se zaštitim, ali to ne radim namerno, tako se pona- ša i moja porodica. Slikao sam se sa- mo kad sam morao, jer je to obave- za profesije kojom se bavim. Mogli ste i još možete da imate verovatno svaku ženu koju po- želite. U vreme velike zemlje,
and not to constantly be in the public eye. How did you manage, throughout all this time, to do absolutely nothing wrong or unsightly; to not be part of ascandalandshowbizinitsworstform? How do you defend yourself against temptation and evil? - I live my life and I’m not of that ilk. I don’t need scandals for my career. I try to protect myself, but I don’t do so on purpose, that’s also how my family behaves. I only had my picture taken when I had to, because that’s an obligation of the profession I practise. You could have had, and still proba- bly could have, any woman you want. During the time of the former larger country, which women adored you the most and why? - Hahahahaha... such is the profession, I’m in a public place, like my other colleagues, singing love songs, so part of the audience naturally connects with the performer. It’s just a profession; life is something else. How did you manage to remain in a longandhappymarriage?Manywould welcome good advice ... - It’s a lottery in life. I met my wife 10 years before our marriage, we got to know each other well, and I got married late so I had time to think about marriage. It’s impor- tant to have respect, loyalty, trust... And the longer we’re together, the more we resem- ble one another. You were the best pupil, and even stu- dent, you were already a star when you graduated.Whywasschoolimportant to you? - Such was that time, it was preferable to have a college education. Also Today I’d recommend education to everyone. Being educated used to be more important than it is today, and what you will end up doing in life is also a lot to do with the twist of fate. Young people at 18 don’t know what they want to do, which is why I’m always in favour
can’t always function in the way you’d want. You were dubbed the ideal hero of young people, while today’s heroes are completely di erent to you... - Every period brings its heroes. People who are on the public scene are always some sort of hero, each for someone. No one is spe- ci c for everyone. Someone is a successful athlete, someone an actor, and everyone has their own audience. It’s possible that di erent professions are fashionable today. There are always opportunities for someone to prove themselves and impact on the target group. I don’t mourn for that time. There are few who endure for decades like you have. And now you sell out ve Arenas as if in jest. What do you think sets you apart? - A man can’t talk about his own suc- cess, somebody who analyses someone’s ca- reer would express it better. Professionalism is the most important thing for me.You need to love the audience, to have a di erent rep- ertoire, to be a good singer and, above all, a natural person, your true self; for the con- certs to be correct and the attitude towards the audiences and the songs to be su cient- ly commercial, yet also lasting, not to be for a short period of time. And it’s a good idea to take a break, for the audience to desire you,
I adore travelling and I feel good on planes. There are always friendly ight attendants who take care to ensure you are satis ed and your ight is passing nicely. I like ying with Air Serbia Obožavam putovanja i dobro mi je u avionu. Tu su uvek ljubazne stjuardese, koje paze da budeš zadovoljan i da ti let lepo protekne. Volim da letim „Er Srbijom“
