***
– The most gentle, if I may say so, I was given the role of the grandmother in the play “Levushka” – it seemed to come from me, this role was not to be overcome, there was no need, roughly speaking, to beat my head against the wall. I had little doubt about it, although doubts always arise during preparation. And in general, I do not have favorite roles. My favorite has not been played yet.
– I respect everything my colleagues do, because a lot of love is put into every job. Not loving the play you play in is the same as living with a person you don’t love.
– Which world director would you like to act in? I really like Francis Weber.
– I would like some cool comedy in general!
– What inspires me? Nature, sun and love.
– If you really work, then when you go on stage, it’s full concentration for 3-4 hours. Almost meditation, I think. At this time, you don’t think about the news, about problems, but you completely leave your reality.
