«A tree doesn’t have a choice, people do»

Surely you can fall in love more than once, but there’s only one person out there who was truly meant for you, that’s the way I see it.

I can’t say that I’ve got nothing to regret. There are things I, probably, shouldn’t have done. Unfortunately, or, maybe, fortunately, what’s done is done, you’ve got to move on.

Everything in this life happens for a reason: if you’re reaching out your hand to beg for money, there’s a reason for it. It’s the question of boundaries. Everybody has their own lines that they are not prepared to cross.

In my life, I’ve had to deal with all sorts of people: from complete idiots to truly talented individuals, local psychics, and unrecognized geniuses.

The most exciting part of any job comes when things get hot, and it doesn’t matter if you’re building a stage or cleaning up cat shit, or doing advertising. The thrill of this is that it gives you a feeling of being in the midst of something.

One shouldn’t marry, if he has the slightest doubt that he’ll be able to spend the rest of his life with this person. When I was eighteen and getting married, I didn’t have these doubts, just like I don’t have them now.

The first record in my employment history says: assistant to the director of the film «The Quiet Don»

The nineties were quite a curious age. On one hand, there already were millionaires, but on the other hand, we were still living in the USSR. Everybody was totally confused. Those who were the first to find their way out in this state of frustration made it to the top.

A dream job is a lucrative business that serves the interests of the humanity.

Club business is a terrible thing: it’s everything imaginable made available. Sometimes it can be hard to resist the temptations of the world around you.

There are a lot of things that irritate me, but I’ve become more composed with age. I’ve come to realize the weakness of human nature. One simply has to learn to forgive.

Jealousy is a human feeling like any other one. The fact that a person experiences this feeling doesn’t imply his lack of confidence. The question is whether you’re being given a reason to. There’s always plenty opportunities, and it’s up to you if you want to use them or not.

If parents aren’t there to take care of their kids upbringing, they wind up being brought up in the street, which is far worse. Parents should be the dominant force which the young generation can trust. Otherwise, there will be TV, friends, girlfriends, and neighbours to fulfil kids’ need for education.

If I had to pick a weapon I could relate myself to, I’d like to imagine it to be something like a high-precision rifle.

I believe that it’s the man who has to be the head of a family. But he has to be a real man, and then any woman would want to be dependent on him. The pursuit of freedom and independence the weaker sex is obsessed with these days is a sign of lack of suitable candidates for the role of their fortress.

I do advertising and it makes me miserable. I’d love to do something else apart from it. Unfortunately, for now there’s no such possibility. At this stage work for me is a necessity.

Every person has this ambition to get everyone to like them, unless, of course, it’s a marginal of some sort we’re talking here. However, those also are rarely an exception.

As kids, we all dream of growing up to be superheroes. Well, at least that’s what it used to be like back in the days of my youth: all of my friends were incredibly ingenious, great musicians or poets (laughs). As far as I remember, I also was some kind of a genius.

Sinful things are always more tempting and exciting. A vice that has been turned into a fashion leaves little chance of resistance.

A tree doesn’t have a choice, people do.

I don’t have a material dream. Money gives me a certain degree of independence, which brings us to a very simple formula: the more money, the more independence. The more independence you have, the more opportunities there are for you to fulfil your dream.

Family is the feeling of tranquillity around you.

Nowadays, stating that you aren’t a creative person equals admitting your inferiority. These days you simply can’t afford not being creative — people would think there’s something wrong with you.
