I don’t smoke. I used to smoke a lot but then there were periods when I gave it up very easily. It was never a big problem for me. The question is what you want. If you really want to give up smoking or to learn playing piano, for example, you’ll achieve everything, but you really need to want it.

According to statistics, marketing stuff uses the biggest number of curse words among the office workers. English speaking bosses don't use such words very often — that's why the word “fuck” sounds very cute from their lips.

I like American way of work, because in comparison with Russian companies, everything is structured and you know what to wait for from tomorrow. You are not living on the edge a volcano and it gives you the feeling of stability. You can earn crazy money in other companies but in one day stay with nothing.

DJ Rose! In the name of flowers!

Being a DJ is the second part of my life that helps me to succeed in my major area, I know all the “inside” of this club life. That’s why when some agency tries to sell a pup to me, I can always “challenge” them because I understand quite well how it happens in real life. Sorry for slang.

Office organizes me, being a DJ makes me relax.

It’s very easy now to be a DJ. If a person has an ear and the sense of rhythm he can easily learn to mix music for some months even beginning from scratch. Commercial DJs succeed not because of music they play, but because of their built up name. In Moscow supply is bigger then demand, that’s why to be a resident of some normal club is almost unreal even if you’re a good DJ.

For DJ the main important thing is not to scare people with his music but to count on the current audience. You don’t need to play something hard when there are people over 35 with bellies and under some alcohol in the dance floor. It’ll be better for them the song “L’dinka” of Dolina in the remix of DJ Fisuna. Be closer to your customer!

In childhood, when I was 14, I was a fan of Depeche Mode, wore a “platform” on my head. That was the time of MAI, the only one club where people came there from everywhere. Its capacity was 1000-1200 people. I remember, people in the hall were divided according to the lines “who came from where”. People who lived near the metro “Sokolniki” and “Voikovskaya” were standing near the stage, then came people form “Strogino”… it was funny…

When I was a student I was very interested in cars. I painted and overhauled the Moskvitches of the 1941 year. In 1997 I obtained a great prestigious Audi-80 (dubbed a “barrel”).

I participated in a casting to enter the group of Bogdan Titomir and I was accepted. But there were some problems in school and my parents said “No”. No dancing, you need to study, and they were right.
By education I’m a builder of highways and airfields. Only I very quickly understood that going drilling some holes in Moscow Ring Road is not for me. By the way, those holes in Moscow Ring Road are not made by some aliens, but by crazy students of Moscow University of highways.

I think that addiction is weakness that impedes living.

I don’t drink coffee from any automat, only from a cezve. And it should be a little bit watery and not very fine-ground. It may be a perversion, but I like it.

Sea and downhill skis. Usually, I have a rest with my girlfriend. I don’t advocate relaxing with big companies because it always ends up with hard drinking. Well, it seems that you continue to do all the things you've been doing in Moscow.

Tradition. Once in a year I go fishing. In August for two weeks my guys and I go fishing. We’re living in tents on the lake, where cellular signals are only in one place and you need to reach this place, put your mobile up and wait for half an hour. Then you manage to send a massage. It’s great to have a rest from your every-day life. You’re in harmony with nature, there is no civilization around, only my car with a great subwoofer.

In women I appreciate those incompatible traits like intellect, beauty and understanding. It helps to be with a person as long as possible. I appreciate it, when a woman can very philosophically approach some very delicate questions.

For some time Mickey Rourke was my idol, until he changed a lot. There was something in his charisma, when he was in films and his a little bit negligent attitude to women.

I don’t seek for big positions in the firm because it may lead to the total loss of spare time. May be I will when I'm a little bit older. I’m still 25. Ok, 33.

Many men may know this situation when they did something for the first time. I mean that “first time”. (smiling)
