– I treat what I do as a service in all aspects of the word. When you are an actor, you take part in a performance. You play. What kind of person is this? What kind of character? It is not you – he is different. But for this reason there is a real Klondike there, there is a lot that I do not know. It gives new strength every time you play the same role again. It may seem that you play automatically, but no, – you think, you think..

– An actor always deals with the soul, even the most soulless one, because he is alive. It cannot be said that some role is closer – the forces are spent equally, although of different quality. Some performances are warmer, some are more difficult or painful.

– I really like watching old fairy tales – they warm the soul. That is why I also like fairy tale series, mostly American ones. For example, “Grey’s Anatomy”, where the action takes place in a hospital, and, of course, there are ideal conditions for filming for actors. And the screenwriter, in my opinion, wrote the dialogues talentedly.

– Sometimes you want to turn on a certain song or watch a good movie when you’re sad. Sometimes it works like therapy.

– It’s not that censorship is needed, but programs that children watch, which are supposedly designed for a young audience – for the most part are so vulgar, cheap… It’s very difficult to make this selection.

– Still, there should be festive dishes, although red caviar is useful to eat every day, because it’s Omega-3. You can also buy flaxseed oil instead, but in a small bottle and keep it in a dark place for no more than three days, because it quickly turns bitter.

– In difficult times, the classics should save. For example, the theme of parents and children in Shakespeare’s “King Lear” is a play for all times.

– What could be worse than when books are burned? That’s right – when they are not read. We need to teach this. And how? And how?.. When it is necessary to tell about it, you know yourself .
