Vladimir Starokonstantinovsky

Many people ask me: “What do you find in the English culture?” I think this is the fact that Englishmen have preserved something from that hippy beauty and sincerity. This invests into the people’s behaviour, the way they socialize and the way they dress regardless of the fact they may be rich. You don’t see all this flashy stuff there. The thing suits me great.

To some extent I am still living like a hippy. I don’t mean that I am the child of flowers and so on. Still some ideas of money as well as of life and human relation do resemble.

The fact that you listen to pop stuff does not necessarily mean that you are an ignorant person. Once it gives you some positive traits it is good. The question is what kind of lesson you can draw out of the thing.

I’ve got many black friends. They call me a “nigger” in London, and that’s not because I listen to R’n’B, that owes to the fact that I am more emotional and open, just as a nig… as an Afroenglishman (laughing).

We are all vicious. We all drink (or drank), smoke, we live our own live and make our own choice. But anyway you overgrow many of these while some people stay there forever, degrading ever more and more. That is the core problem about music. It does control you: it can either take you high or keep you at one and the same place, it can even let you down.

No doubt upbringing as well as genes does influence a person. But it’s mostly about him himself and his own intentions. Once a man has a stem he will hold one’s own, once he doesn’t — he will fell down and that will be all. We always have the right to choose, we are not animals, aren’t we?

Club business is all about prostitution as all is based on sex there. Any club is intended for sex either directly or indirectly. The first word you are to learn when working in club business is “no” and not “yes”. The madder you are about the issue, the cooler your club is.

There is one problem in a Russian upbringing. If you have achieved fucking something you are supposed to show off and drive such a fucking gorgeous car so that everybody’ll tear their eyes out. You will not come across such a thing in a European education.

I can be highly dependent on pleasures when it concerns some certain spheres.

As far as women are concerned I can say that I am happy here. I have always been lucky in the issue. Different women need different things. Women love guys like me. However their love doesn’t last long as they get tired to love in such a way.

The only real weakness of mine are women. I don’t mean sex here, I am speaking about psychology. You know, it’s so fucking difficult to understand them…

According to philosophers: “ There is nothing more dreadful than three things in life: lie, betrayal and ignorance”.
