“I’m an actress. I would probably feel very unhappy if I had to do something else. True, in my free time I draw, write fairy tales, plays, scripts. But this is my hobby, it cannot be a profession. I am serious about my work, I am always dissatisfied with myself, and what I do, I often do not like, I always want the best. I value honesty and kindness in people. It’s very difficult to be honest. To act openly, to live in truth – this is probably some kind of consonance with God, which is very difficult to achieve, almost impossible. It is much easier to lie, to do wrong things. It’s hard to be a hero, it’s easier to be a traitor. Good people are more common than honest ones, because there are kind and weak people. And the honest ones are strong.”
