By the way, why did you leave university?
I couldn't manage to study and sing in two
countries – not physically, not mentally. I was also a judge in the Czech
version of Pop Idol. I had time to do concerts, but I couldn’t make any new
music. Soon I wouldn’t have any new material to perform with; and what about my
friends and family? Even though it was a great university, the only thing I’m
going to study is the school of life. 10 years in show business taught me
something so in the future I want to mainly focus on singing and business.
What business exactly?
It may sound weird, but I’m an owner of a
company, which deals with everything I do. From music through advertisement,
projects with my participation, such as the 10 years on scene concert, to keeping
my own e-shop, charity second hand or planning future activities, which
includes my dream of having my own restaurant, because I love to cook. Anyways
it taught me responsibility. Now I am a boss of my own business, which is
great, but at the same time everyone’s waiting for my decisions. And if they
are wrong, it’s all my fault. But I have to say, that this responsibility is
much more valuable to me than studying law.
You mentioned that you do concerts in both
Czech Republic and Poland. What is the biggest difference between your Polish
and Czech fans?
I could write a book about this topic. Long
story short, polish fans got to know me when I was 15 years old through my song
Cicho, When I was a young lady with high heels. Here I came to the scene being
a child. And people seem to still remember me like that. Many 30-year-old feel
embarrassed because they listen to my music. Some of them even come to me and
say sorry. Not so long ago one 45-year-old women came to me saying that she’s a
bit ashamed that such an old lady listens to me. I told her that it’s fine – no
one says that my fans need to be younger than me. Besides I’m really grateful
for fans with fine taste. And 45-years-old lady is not OLD!
That’s why Czech media keeps saying you are
more sexy in Poland than in the Czech Republic?
Well, today they can say really anything… But
well, the reason is that in Poland they are much more interested in fashion
than people here. They have the world’s perspective, so when I appear on some
event in clothes made by polish designer, they get excited about it and write
about it well. They know how to compliment, which is nice. But when I wear the
same clothes here, it’s wrong and media says that Farna doesn’t have any taste.
That’s ridiculous. Plus I find it a pity wear only a black long skirts being
just 22 years old. I have a lot of time for that. That’s why I like to wear
controversial clothes sometimes. And that’s why I’m reconciled with the fact
that I’m never going to be understood in here when it comes to fashion.
You’re Polish with Czech citizenship. Which
country is closer to you?
I love the Czech Republic and I’m happy that I
was born here. I have a lot of friends here, my band, my boyfriend, but I’m
Polish. So when there’s a football match Czech Republic – Poland, I’m rooting
for Poland. I’m openly confessing this in a Czech magazine, because I’m often
being accused of saying different things to Czech and Polish media. One time
some people in here even advised me not to talk too much about my Polish
nationality, because I could lose part of my fans here. That I have to know how
do Czech people see Polish ones!
How?
As an racketeers. But I think that comes out
from stereotypes. I don’t want to defend Polish people, because when they left
Poland and think, that God doesn’t see them, they are able of doing bad things.
On the other hand I know that they love Czech Republic and Czech people. They
love Czech humour and the way how we can make fun of ourselves. They are
excited about how liberal Czech Republic is, how the country isn’t so closely
connected with faith. In my opinion overlooking Polish people isn’t right. And
I personally want to show Czech people, that Polish ones can be nice.
In what country do media more talk about your
relationship with Martin?
I think both of them the same, because private
things do interest people the most the same all over the world. A lot of people
think that dating a boy from your band is a pro, but sometimes it’s a con.
Sometimes it’s not easy, but it’s important to divide the personal life from
work life.
That’s why your new song Na ostří nože (On a
knife edge) is about relationship?
That song is about that every relationship
needs to be taken care of. I had this old photo at home, portraying an old
couple and it said that how’s possible, that they managed to be together for so
long. Their answer was, that at their times, when something went wrong, it was
being fixed, not thrown away. That’s so accurate! And when I was recently
chopping something for diner, I told my boyfriend, that we have to buy a new
knife, because this one is completely blunt. And he said, what if we tried
to sharpen it first? And at that moment I thought about that picture and I
realised how much it says about a relationship as well. You need to take care
of a relationship as well, from time to time fix something, if it gets broken.
Throwing away at the first moment when things get wrong and getting a new
relationship instead isn’t a solution. So every relationship needs to be sharpen
just the same as the knife, only then it can work.
Being a boyfriend of such a popular singer
needs to be very difficult for most men, especially, when the singer is their
boss. How does your boyfriend manage that?
For now it’s fine. I’m definitely not a boss
at home, I wouldn’t even want to be. I’d rather be taken care of like every other
girl. But in my band I have to have the last word, because I take all the
responsibility for that. And that demands a confident man who has balls. And the
one I have definitely has!
