I want to be wealthy, but I don’t want to be always followed by a car full of bodyguards. I don’t want always to look around being in fear that I can be killed at any time. That is a situation when it is hard for you to stay alone and it’s hard for you to stay alive either.

I’d like to engage in huge projects. For example, I’d like to be with a PR-agency that works for government and promotes presidential election. But I don’t want to be a uniform wearing office slave sitting behind his desk 24/7 and being overpressed by his fat boss lady. I’d surely go nuts at some moment just like the guy from “Wanted”-movie.

It is essential to able to ease yourself. So if there’s an inner child in me when I am even sixty, it will be a positive sign.

I have to visit some towns with old-time buildings (XVIII-XIX century) in order to relax jolly well. I can’t say that I relish the prospect of laying in the sun until 7 p.m.

Online role-playing game allows you to create that character which you wish. A lot of people play those games dissimulating their complexes and phobias and creating beautiful characters.

If I enter a night club and I am not drunk I get a feeling that I’m going crazy.

What the hell’s going on here?! When you are sober you can’t feel that atmosphere of joy.

Gopota are a kind of devilish spawn. They think it’s extra-cool to own a purple devyatka (VAZ 2109) with blacked-out windows and giant muffler… They consider wearing track-suits combined with winkle-pickers to be good looking… I absolutely don’t know where they come from. Where were they 20 years ago?

I like how Parfenov develops his thoughts in his book “Namedni”: he can express as many ideas in three paragraphs as ones are not able to capture into the whole book.

Every man has his own destiny, and you can’t escape from it. I live for the day and enjoy every moment of it. I don’t like to plan everything way ahead, you know, like: “Well, I’ll save 5 rubles on my wage and in twenty years I will be able to travel somewhere. If I need something I go and buy it, even if those are my last money.

A joke on point of the crisis: A boy comes to his father and asks him: “Dad, will the crisis redound upon us?” And his father answers: “No, sonny, the crisis will redound upon the oligarchs, and we’re completely fucked up”.

It is interesting how long our people will hold out before knocking on the

Kremlin’s door and asking the guys there if they are out of their freaking minds.

Our people are very creative. A Russian is not able to spend his whole life driving screws on the Volkswagen factory, like Germans do. We need a brawny arm, the second Stalin. Or we can have the illusion of that arm and a complete outrage in our country instead. In fact that’s exactly what’s happening now in Russia.

I think that oligarchs are rather smart guys. Indeed you need to kill people intelligently.

It’s shameful to be rich in a poor country.

Americans go to Australia to see the place where Hugh Jackman or Nicole Kidman was born. But sometimes when their geography knowledge fails they go to Austria. And there Austrians already wear t-shirts with such a printed message: “We don’t any kangaroos. This isn’t Australia. This is Austria”.

America is a people-oriented country. All conditions necessary for a comfortable living of an individual are provided there. But the Americans themselves are just dim wits.

I don’t want to go away from Russia. Yeah, I see all that mess here but I also understand that I won’t have such a kinship with other people anywhere else.

Russians are treated as hogs only in Turkey, in Southern France and in London where Russians buy up all realty on Notting-Hill. All other people consider us to be affable.

The greatest mistake made by people while being abroad is quaffing themselves into insensibility because of this “all inclusive”-system.

Everything will be changed be the Red Button.

I had been living in India for quite a long time. This country has such fantastic traditions and breathtakingly beautiful architecture. If you like the mix of dirt and history, you need to get there.

I’m afraid of the sound of the breaking bones.

I don’t know if Russian women’s self-esteem has lowered recently or not. I live in Moscow and don’t see it.

When there’s too much of something, this very something becomes a mauvais ton. Porsche Cayenne is considered to be a good car. But there so many of them! Even if I had the money, I wouldn’t be buying it.

When I earn a lot of money I’ll go to Seychelles. And that amount of money is moderate I’ll buy myself a huge TV-set.
