I was born in Novi Sad on August 14, 1980. My family consists of my mother, father and brother. Like everyone, I think that my childhood was the most beautiful in the world, and I would give I don't know how many years of my life to go back to it even for one day and play again with my friends Maja and Jelena, with whom I grew up. My choice of acting is also related to my childhood. My parents design leather goods, and I remember that sometimes when I would come back from a night out, at 3, 4, or 5 in the morning, I would find my dad awake in the room drawing. I ask him: "What are you doing, man?", and he tells me: "I dreamed of a bag, so if I don't draw it right away, I'm afraid I'll forget it." Honestly, I also happen to think of something interesting about a role in the middle of the night, and I always think I need to remember it, but every time I forget it by morning, so it looks like I'll have to start applying the chalet method, and start I'm writing it down.

I probably inherited from my parents this need for art, for creativity, for making something, so I enrolled in the High School of Art in Novi Sad, department of textile design. In the second year, I had a plan to continue my education in Florence, applied arts, Department of Leather. However, the war started, so I still had to stay. And my first love happened at that time. So the war and first love were the deciding factors for me to stay. And I was a little disappointed in some subjects, in some professors, and I was no longer sure that I had chosen the right profession. However, that need for artistic expression remained and then I started thinking about acting.

When I went to the reception in Novi Sad, at Petar Banićević's, as soon as he saw the photos I had brought with the application, he asked me: "Why don't you try modelling?". "Please?" I answered, "You will see! Goodbye!”, and just went outside. That's how my first outing went.

The second time I was shortlisted by Bora Drašković, but I didn't go any further. And then Marija Veljković, with whom I lived at the time and who passed the entrance exam in exactly the same way, told me that she heard that an experimental class should be formed at the BK Academy, where acting and directing will be taught by Nikita Milivojević and Anita Mančić. We both decided to try there, and we were both accepted. I was very lucky that at that time the actress I admired was Anita Mančić. To be honest, enrolling at the Academy and that first year was my first encounter with the profession, not counting the fact that I recited at performances in elementary school. And they always said that I have a beautiful and interesting voice. And I loved reciting, I still do, I just don't know why I don't memorize songs anymore.

Stand on your own two feet

When I think about my first success, I can't say that it was a role or something like that, but something much more personal: the fact that only after the first year I realized that I was alone, that I separated from my parents, and that I stood on my own legs. It wasn't easy at all, even though I always wanted it. I would mark that as my first success because even though it is personal, it was for the purpose of my love for art.

I would like to sing a little more

If I had to choose a favourite role, it would probably be Clavis from the play "The Boy Who Promises", because at first, I was very sceptical about how I would perform that singing, since I always thought I had no hearing, although Kaja Žutić claims that this is not true. He's probably just cheering me on, but oh well. Likewise, I'm very shy when it comes to free scenes, especially on stage, because in a movie you grit your teeth and be done with it, and in the theatre, it's repeated night after night. I wouldn't talk about the first disappointment, because I think there are always them - both professionally and privately, in friendships, and everywhere, so I try not to pay too much attention to such things and not to take them to heart. I think it's better to get used to those things right away than to keep crawling about something.

I don't know what my greatest professional achievement is. I hope it's still coming. I like watching Tanja Peternek's show "TV faces like all the normal world", she always has very successful people as guests, and when I think of myself as a possible guest, I think I would still thank you for the invitation, because I don't think I have anything yet important to say, that will be in the future. The biggest support in my work is my parents, my brother, my godfather Peđa, and several other people. Boy, of course, but very few people from work. My favourite colleagues from Buha are Boško Đorđević, Sandra Šušljik, Milena Depolo, and Ljilja, and I get along well with the entire young staff of Buha. We were all accepted together, and we really like working together: Andrija, Viktor, and Borka.

When I'm not working, I like to go snowboarding, although I'm a little afraid now, because of possible injuries, although I'm still really looking forward to winter. Before, I also liked to draw and paint. I don't do that anymore, but I hope to get active again. And I can't turn off the wardrobe. But not in the sense that I have to have everything that is the most modern, but in that way, I like to express my creativity. As for going out, I like to have coffee during the day, and in the evening I like home gatherings and blessings. In my career, I have no ambitions to go abroad, but my dream is to work as hard as possible and to try myself in as many different roles as possible. Personally, I want to start a family.

Measures for the soul

My favourite play is "Shine" by Milena Marković. When it comes to movies, I love Meryl Streep and, I'll be a total girl, "The Bridges of Madison County." My hit book is "Silk" by Alessandro Barico, I love it and every time I read it, I think about it again. I listen to Sting and Whitney Houston, I enjoy their wonderful vocals when I've had enough of the noise and want to relax.
