“I am silent. The person is closed and withdrawn, an introvert by nature. It is easier for me to hide some problems in myself than to discuss openly, although silence is fraught with dangerous explosions. It’s hard for me to talk. And after the performance, where I spoke for two hours in a row, there was absolutely no strength left for communication. The work of an artist requires a lot of energy, and in order to accumulate it, I need a lot of time. You don’t always like to save yourself, sometimes it’s a pity and a shame that you don’t have enough strength just to play with your children. I try to catch up in the summer. But, probably, like everyone else, in different situations I am different. In an unfamiliar team, you can’t see or hear me, it’s hard for me to get in touch with new people. It is important for me that there are those around me whom I know, whom I can rely on.
