My life doesn’t involve the concept of “career ambitions”. My career can only be described in terms of the sphere of the projects, the sphere of people I have to meet, and the sphere of tasks I have to complete.

Watching people is my most favourite thing to do. I speculate on who they are, what their lives are filled with, what they do, in what relationship they are… Invent some kind of a story. Or otherwise (if that’s girls we’re talking here) — there’s also enjoying sexual pleasure. Pure voyeurism.

Complexes are all those things that you feel annoyed with but still can do nothing about.

People who work in a decent corporation learn to receive and share knowledge, correctly identify the problems that need to be solved at every stage. In other words, they learn to systematize and structure their working process. But this is the type of work that is good while you’re young. Later on, these skills should become your cornerstone for realizing your own independent projects.

I’d like to get a chance to become Madonna for a while.

I, generally, don’t regard cellulite, as well as anything else about a woman’s appearance, as a problem. There certainly are things that might seem particularly beautiful to me, but if I find a woman interesting, I’m ready to accept her the way she is. What matters to me most in a woman is her personality. The rest isn’t important.

Modern society rejects geniuses. When I say genius, I mean someone who possesses the ability of doing something in an extraordinary way, but when it comes to coping with other challenges of life, like, daily routines, socializing, — he might turn out to be a flawed person.

Our life is engulfed within an enormous flow of information, in this case stereotypes make a convenient tool that helps to ease our perception of the reality. In other words, we resort to them to simplify it. This allows us to make some room for our mind. To put it shortly, stereotyping is the process of structuring information.

I adopt a philosophical approach towards things that might seem wrong, useless or accidental at first. I believe that there’s a meaning behind everything. That’s why I don’t have any regrets.

Marcel Proust used to say that my world is in me. I believe that’s he’s got a point there, so to a certain degree, I view myself as the Centre of the world.

My idea of supreme happiness is falling in love.

My greatest ambition is to avoid situations where I’m forced to do something I disagree with. Pressure is what frustrates me more than anything else.

I enjoy taking trips along the ring road on a «Б» trolleybus.

I exercise regularly and spend quite a bit of money on it.
My place resembles a chaotic apartment of an artist.

My friends have always said that I look like Rabbit from the “Winnie the Pooh” cartoon. The Soviet one, not the American one.

One should be open-minded enough to be able to explore new horizons, value a friendly advice, and pay more attention to the world around him, listen and read, rather than hide in his shell.

Freaks tend to produce most positive impression on me, and even, to some degree, make me envy.

One thing I love doing is giving women tulips.

My favourite fictional character is Teofil North.

I really like the following biblical adage: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself”. Because of my egoism, I wish I could do more to live up to the wisdom of these words.
