When I was a child I wanted to be an astronaut. It seemed to me I’d be over everything that way: over problems (childish, of course), far away from the kindergarten, from tasteless porridge, from earthquakes…

My field of activity is a communication from dusk to dawn, and sometimes from dawn to dusk.

I feel at ease here and now.

Leaders should treat subordinates with respect but shouldn’t be too gentle. Problems don’t exist, there are only difficult situations that you can find a way out of.

I almost don’t watch TV, don’t find anything useful there. Only the news and the “Discovery”. I like to get useful information that gives you some new knowledge. Rubbish, there’s plenty of.

An ideal rest is a total relaxation when you can switch your brains off from the world. There’s no phone, no internet, just quiet.

A girl should be reasonably capricious, sometimes meany. But slightly and reasonably. The main thing is not to go too far. Caprice is a little foible that we can allow ourselves to get what we want. It’s important that the end justifies the means.

Sometimes I don’t know what I want. Not long ago I talked to one interesting person who told me that the man wants the woman to confess that he is the one she'd been waiting for all her life. Women though want the little: to feel somebody love them.

Even difficulties, quarrels and disappointments seem to me only an experience. I really study by my faults and make up conclusions.

To get married is a serious step in life. I think people of my time realize it because judging by my surroundings, nobody hurries to have his passport stamped.

Some time we’ll have to put up with getting old and get used to it. I’m only afraid of one thing: to have no more strength and to be helpless. Now I’ve got used to rely only on myself, that’s why any dependence on somebody is scaring me a priori.

To be woman is the only luck and advantage. As the great poet Valeriy Brusov said: “You’re woman, and that’s why you’re right”.

Money is a good supplement to work, an opportunity to buy a thing, to travel. Yes, it’s much more easier to live with it. But it won’t make me forget about others while earning it. Today it doesn’t mean a lot to me. Still I don’t make promises about future.

I better understand people who want to get themselves a flock of sheep and live away from a megalopolis when they are old. It’s a tempting idea, but that’ll do for me for no more than a month. That’s why I won’t be able to make it without the noise of a big city.
