Life is a constant flow of changing ages. One is followed by the next, and then another one…and so on — the process is infinite. Life is everlasting.

Successful work is when the energy that you put into something comes back to you. When work gives you satisfaction, not devastation.

People take interest in a photograph as an object. They subconsciously “exploit” me — the personification of a job of the photographer. I, in return, exploit their interest: take photos, gain inspiration, use it in my projects. It’s a kind of an artistic symbiosis.

There are two things I need in life: drive and constant access to communication.

After you’ve tried paragliding, you realize that drugs and alcohol are nothing compared to that. Up in the sky you can experience intense emotions without any harm to your health.

Internet is a necessity. In the past 100 years the population of the planet has increased severalfold. There is now a demand for new ways of communication. Pigeon mail, railway mail and air mail wouldn’t be able to cope with a flow of information like that.

I don’t like theatre. Actors are bound to act in a certain way and trying to get through to a spectator in the back row always makes it look a little grotesque. It’s especially evident in the movies. And this is exactly the reason why nowadays theatre, too, is evolving, taking the shape of multi-level performances and installations.

Eternal love does exist. It’s not marriage that matters to me. What’s far more important is to make sure that your emotions and emotions of the one who’ll be there for you will be enough to keep you both going for years and years to come.

The concepts of honour and valour are one of the main among those that I cultivate in myself. History knows many examples of nobility, but nowadays selflessness is becoming extremely rare.

Artificial intellect poses an enormous threat to the humanity. A computer endowed with intellectual ability — this is what modern engineers are working towards. Be sure, it will be our generation that will witness the machines making their first emotion-based decisions — “random associations”.
