– I will answer without thinking… The first thing that came to mind – in the 5th-6th grade I was given the role of the Prince in Cinderella. It seems that the boys did not want to participate. I remember kneeling in front of Cinderella with the slippers and saying: “Here is one, and here is another. So be my wife!”

– I love all the performances in which I play. I think my love consists of many things – this is the rehearsal process, and meetings with the director and actors, painting faces and changing hats, watching partners who play their roles so differently, applause and smiles from the audience, and a new stage, theater corridors and dressing room mirrors.

– I will not use the word “never”, but not so long ago I even refused to audition for a feature film for the role of an old dying KGB agent who participated in the destruction of a creative person. For the first time, I thought: “If I’m gone, I don’t want my son and his children to see this image.” After all, the image often merges with you.

– For the second evening, a documentary about the Belgian designer Dries Van Noten has been living in me. It filled me with the impressions I so need. I lack the beauty and taste that I always want to learn.

– I don’t know, I can’t know who I was in a past life. But sometimes I think to myself: “Oh! How many previous grains of my great-great When I was rehearsing “Mother” by Čapek, it was with Vakarchuk’s songs – he would tune me to the theme, I would walk along Sofiivska Square, listening to “Myt” in my headphones. And tears would flow, and nerves would tense… Now an Italian song from the 50s sounds.
