Lyubov Tolkalina: “It is more important for me to love”

“I don’t want to answer this question logically. And I can’t – because I feel myself in images. I was once a field flower. I was a plant with flying roots. It was an air mass and sea foam. I was also a Mermaid. Now I’m a friend of a centaur. I have a lot of fire. And I live somewhere between blue and blue, on the horizon line. What human hands can reach has little to do with my inner world. They named me Love. And, like love, I can be anything. “I am a man of passions” “Emotions and feelings often take over in me. I can’t keep my word. Easy. And I have an indulgence for this, because I believe that the truth is on my side. I have known for a long time: anger must be spent on the spot. As soon as it burns down, a place is formed for the construction of something new. If not – a viscous quagmire. So I get angry, and then I ask you to forgive me. Certain doses of poison can heal relationships, even cement them. Where there is passion, there is love. Between us and Yegor so. And it always has been. In a conflict, I burn like a match, set fire to everything, arrange ashes. I’ll burn, I’ll burn, then I’ll pay for the whole thing, a loan, I’ll fall asleep – and like new. And I know that Yegor needs it. He takes energy from outside. It draws energy from everything in me. He is also a very passionate person and makes films about human passions.” “Mine will always find me” “Before going on stage, such excitement happens to me when everything inside overflows and you hear nothing, only the beating of the heart. It, like on an elastic band, beats on the floor and somewhere in the lower jaw. The feeling that you will now go on stage and then you can only die. But no one is waiting for me dead at home. In general, no one is waiting for the actress at home. They are waiting for a mother, a beloved woman, a cook, a reader of poems and prose for the night with an expression, a shoulder, a vest, a pillow, a singer. Therefore, I think, let everything flow as it flows in my profession. I don’t rate my performance in any way. Mine will always find me. And what does not find is not mine, that means. At my age, it’s time to do some great things. But so far, the only such thing has been the birth of a daughter.”
