Producer is a guy who always wanted to work at something else but thing didn’t come around as they were expected.

The job of the second unit director touches upon everything but directing. You need to be quite a bastard in order not to kill yourself after one day of such a work. My first project proved me that.

It always seemed to me that people who work in strip clubs look like movie-like pimps or other criminal elements. But it emerged that they were good, honest and fair. All in all, everything is different there.

Strippers are common girls. But they all are exhibitionists in grain.

News about death of Michael Jackson… It was like finding out that Santa Claus melted away or that Mickey Mouse paid his last debt.

Michael Jackson moved to that very thin group of people at some point. He could just sit at home, and this would be enough to be thankful to him. There’d be no R’n’B and no pop-music at all. There just few people like him left in the world: maybe McCartney and Madonna (at a pinch). All the others are just brands and shiny wrappers.

If there were a musical religion, Michael Jackson would be among its five central saints.

When I was 15 I got into a pioneer camp where the rite of initiation consisted in spending three hours on a local cemetery. I was very scared: old graveyard, obeli out of upright and different thoughts crawling in my mind…

Obscene language is first of all not a way of your thoughts expressions; it’s a good way to dump your negative energy. And that’s how a plumber differs from an intelligent person: a plumber needs to dump his negative energy much more often.

Barack Obama is a global scale stroke of policy. His appearance is a well-planned action. I wouldn’t get surprised if in 20 years some gay became the President in the USA.

America is the country where the society is restrained from civil war and from nationalistic slaughter by very harsh and deep laid laws. This is the country where the idea of private property and private life is made the corner-stone.

Virtuosity is important because it is the only reason why we haven’t still turned into animals. The man differs from the animal only by his creativity.

Decadence is always followed by Renaissance. So I hope I’ll live to the Renaissance in our country.

If you do not believe in anything, you begin to wither. The most awful thing to happen to you: you lose your faith and you can’t answer to yourself what do you live for.

If Moscow clubs had no face control it would be a fucking disaster. In western countries different social groups visit different clubs, and no one claims for another one’s territory. As for Moscow, the level of social culture here demands of face control.

Moscow will never become the cultural capital of the world, as long as there are simple-minded people at the helm of the city.

I’m a huge fan of “The Simpsons”. I could hardly imagine that Americans were that able to laugh at themselves. “The Simpsons” is an ideal combination of everything necessary for a good present-day animated comedy series.
