There is no actress that's more controversial than I am. The rst critiques of my acting cut me down ruthlessly, to which professor Predrag Bajčetić commented: a dog barks, and the wind carries Ne postoji osporavanija glumica od mene. Prve kritike moje glume su me surovo sekle, a profesor Predrag Bajčetić ih je prokomentarisao: „Pas laje, a vetar nosi“
tried so hard.
morning I maintain a speci c regime of diet, thoughts, behaviour, perfume, creams... Be- cause Marija Kalić isn’t the same as Zagorka, for example. And a favourite role? - None of them resemble me, but they all left traces.The character of Charlotte in the play“Autumn Sonata”is particularly impor- tant and dear to me. I’ve played everything I wanted to play. You lived in America. Did you have a desire to act in Hollywood? - I never wanted that. I worked with di- rector Dušan Makavejev on one American co-production, but that wasn’t it. I seriously and deeply love this country and nation, as dishevelled as it is. They get on my nerves every day, but it’s my choice to be here. In my Belgrade, Herceg Novi, Aranđelovac, Lon- don... I don’t want to be anywhere else. I know who I am. I haven’t accepted myself anywhere else. This is my language, my cul- ture. I’ve also acquainted myself with work on the Broadway stage. They claimed to me that I could enter every acting ensemble in America. I wasn’t interested. I have Terazi- je Theatre. On Broadway they have special oors so that the actors can slide on the stage, microphones in their hair... And we rst performed here on plain boards that left splinters in our socks and only later re- ceived linoleum. But if I’d had more com- fortable working conditions, I wouldn’t have
You don’t read newspapers and aren’t on social networks... - Yes, and it’s been that way for 30 years. They tell me that in the media there are some reality stars, and I don’t know what that is?! I go to the theatre, that’s what I love. Those close to me tell me that if war breaks out I won’t have a clue, and I ignorantly re- spond to that by saying that I couldn’t care less. I took on my own protection against everything. I pray to God; I believe in him and live with him. When you analyse yourself today, the path you’ve journeyed, what do you think? - The adult Tanja Bošković didn’t betray Tanja the little girl or Tanja the young lady. I’m happy with what I’ve become. I got much more love than I deserved in every way. I’m living a second youth, and I plan to live for at least 200 years. I believe that in some other life I was born in the second half of the 19 th cen- tury in Russia. I lived half of the 20 th century, and now we’re in the 21 st century. Time actu- ally doesn’t exist. I don’t feel my age. I forget unpleasantness immediately. We’re respon- sible for our choices. I choose only the most fantastic pearls and jewels in everything on a daily basis. I’m hit hard by the departures of dear people, as if part of the sky above my head has own away. One day we’ll all be to- gether in eternity.
and that he is married. I then know that this isn’t true, because he opted for some oth- er woman and not for me. I really wanted to get married, tried hard with my relation- ships, and didn’t succeed, God didn’t give that to me. All the men with whom I had an emotional story ended up leaving me. I gave birth to my son at the age of 35, then my daughter. Fortunately, I was healthy and strong enough to take on the role of moth- er, and I also played football with children when needed.There is nothing‘fatale’there. Do you have a favourite acting scene? - The theatre, because it’s a living or- ganism that bubbles and boils. You’re more limited in all other forms. I spend the full day preparing for every performance. I’m an old-time actress. Depending on the play in which I’m performing that day, from the
