I haven’t become an actress. It was just about my accompanying my sister to “METRO” casting and succeeding in the thing. However I made a decision not to lose any sleep over an actress’s career as I didn’t manage to entirely actualize myself in the musical format. That drove me to proceed with music.

The whole appeal about Berlin is that you can wear some suffering snickers all day round without constant thinking about the degree of your fitting into the surroundings. Artists and actors from all of Europe as well as from the whole world come to Berlin, the letter being the very place where the new kinds of art are originating.

I don’t like tobacco smoke, I do enjoy hookah smoking though.

I am constantly meditating on the things and interrogating my internal and I just can’t get rid of the thing. To shift to something else I need to do the jogging in the park for instance. Then my mental processes are switched off.

My dream has come true. I’ve arranged my own studio in Berlin. That is the place where I do magic with the help of various synthesizers, aromatizers and such other bla-bla-zers. It’s like another life… This is my sound lab.

Well, in addition to all I am a DJ. Once a week I run home parties where I play the things one is never going to hear anywhere afterwards!

I won’t reveal the enigma of my dishes but I do cook myself for the home parties. I need neither plates nor other utensils. I’m accustomed to do some kind of mini rolls and various amusing canape in large numbers, which makes my friends get highly enthusiastic.

I’ve been given a cycle recently. It’s got no alarm. Taking into consideration the fact that I drive not that good I usually cry and shrill just not to hit somebody. Thanks God people hurry-scurry away.

I wanted to become a perfumer and even happened to invent my own kind of flavour at one French factory. I called it Teona and gave the thing to my sister. But what I really love about smells is the flavour of burned paper and that you smell when you strike a match. I guess that is the very minute when all my past worries, odd thoughts and emotions get burned as well.

I do dream to live forever.

My husband is a real man who humors my fancies and let me get crazy in all my crazy ways. He happened to like that and we add do each other in such a way. I guess he’s constantly pacing the situation but I don’t feel a thing.

I cant’ keep pets. Even my flowers get dry because I forget to water them.

The Korean director Chan-Wook Park said: “We, people, can be compared to die-hard prisoners staying still and awaiting for our sentence”. It’s a very tough thing to say and despite the fact I am not of a depressive kind I always keep the phrase in my mind.

I don’t get it when people cease creating and just stay where they are. I believe retiring on one's laurels after having achieved some certain success is the wrong thing to do. One is to go on and search for other inspirations.
