“When 'Friday Night Lights' finished, I cried for a day. I have a probl...” — Bojana Novakovic Quote

When 'Friday Night Lights' finished, I cried for a day. I have a problem.

I didn't have many friends; I was kind of bullied at school.

What I have a problem with is money and name at the expense of talent and culture.

I love inappropriate humour.

One actor in my life is enough, and that's me. With actors, it's too easy to go into this world of complaining. Someone will always be better, richer, more loved, do more work. Those dynamics don't interest me. The friends I hang out with, we create our own work rather than complain about acting.

My first reaction to Trump being elected was a visceral one. I cried for black people in general but, more particularly, for those of us at the margins who have been struggling and who have never received enough support.

One time, when I was in my teens, jamming in a Kansas City club, I was doing all right until I tried doing double tempo on 'Body and Soul.' Everybody fell out laughing. I went home and cried and didn't want to play again for three months.

I felt like I was the only person on the planet with this 'thing called depression', and I remember being frightened. I was knocked out and dopey, and I cried all of the time.

When you watch movies and you see people cry from happiness, I've never cried from happiness before in my life. So when I'm crying from happiness, that's when you know it was real.
