Moscow’s a place where you have to spend most of your time at work.

I’d do virtually anything for a friend.

I want to own a business. I haven’t yet decided what type of business it should be, but I’m convinced that I want one. The reason is simple — all the experience you gain eventually makes you realize that you’re sick and tired of having to comply with someone else’s orders — I want to be the one in command.

The moment I stop working on my self-development, I’d get bored of myself.

I know first hand what it means to have health problems. The worst part about it is that it’s also a very expensive and unpleasant experience. That’s the reason the thing I fear most is falling sick.

Nothing can be more important than my own health and the health of my loved ones.

I still fly in my dreams, I keep hoping that I’ll grow taller (in Russia it’s believed that flying in your dreams means you’re growing — TN), but I don’t. I think what I should do is wait some more (laughs).

If a person doesn’t have any complexes, this means he’s sick in the head, that’s what I think.

Criticism helps you work on your flaws. When there’s no criticism, there’s no progress, which means you’ll inevitably wind up hitting the rock bottom.

I’m very bad with timekeeping, which is why I’m regularly late. It’s a very bad quality in a number of ways, because modern life demands more concentration. I realize that this is a problem, I know that I should try leave 15 minutes earlier, but that’s impossible!

Life doesn’t begin at 40, but at 50!

Once I’ve lost interest in something, nothing can make me come back to it.

I’m always eager to share new information I learnt from somewhere with others. So if they ask me about it, I’d give them this long speech on the matter, regardless of whether they’re willing to listen or not (laughs).

I don’t consider my breasts some kind of advantage — they’re really uncomfortable to sleep on.

I don’t like reading books on computer. I am fascinated by the process of page turning, which is why I believe that a genuine original book is irreplaceable, and that Internet won’t destroy this tradition.

I regularly check my mailbox, but every time there’s nothing in it except for advertisements and accounts. The age of letters is long gone, because it’s much easier to send an sms. You write it, send it off, and voila, you letter is already delivered. The way things are now, our kids won’t know how to hold a pen anymore (laughs).

If I have to sacrifice something, it normally happens to be my sleep, which I so don’t get enough. When I’m sleeping, I don’t regret wasting this time, because I know that I’m still going to have fun. If our life remains within our control to at least some extent, our dreams are beyond this.

If during a conversation a man doesn’t look at you, but at your cleavage, this means that your intellect didn’t attract enough attention to beat your breasts.

Dramas show you other people’s trials and tribulations, which might give you a thought or two and, maybe, help you suffer a little less in real life later on.

I slap myself on the hands only after I’ve already done something I shouldn’t have. Before that, you’re normally too caught up in the process to actually evaluate the rightness of your course of action.

Because I live alone, I have to face the fact that sometimes there’s nobody for me to talk to. So I’m forced to talk to myself. Why not? I consider myself quite a nice companion (laughs).

The older you become, the more demanding you grow towards people who surround you. I know it’s a bad thing, but I can’t do anything to change it.

Even now, I can still fall in love every month. But falling for someone and trying to picture them next to you are two different things.

One can’t exist outside the age, the society. There must be an inner core, everything else depends on who you spend your time with.

I don’t like attracting too much attention to myself. But at the same time it’s not like I ever find myself left on the sideline either.

It’s not that before life used to be better, it was just different. I think it’s a lot better nowadays.

I wouldn’t even try arguing with a stupid person. I need strong opponents! Only through this type of argument can truth be born. On the other hand, arguing is still more about the process, than the result.
