Everything that I have is natural - braid, nails - I practically never use cosmetics. They often ask me in the provinces about my braid.

I just heard the latest joke about my hair: 'Do you know what that is on her head? It's a steering wheel to drive the state.

The post-Soviet mafia wove a spider's web of dirty money around the world. Where better to attack it than to start with the Ukrainian criminal heavyweights - the 'family' and its closest circle?

I know the Russian political elite has got used to the Ukraine suffering from an inferiority complex, but I want this to disappear from our relationship.

I think women have to change their hairstyle from time to time.

Coaching is not how much you know. It's how much you can get players to do.

I don't want to do action that doesn't mean anything. Everything I do I want to have character development and three-dimensional characters, fallible humans, and this is definitely one of them.

Comics seldom move me the way I would be moved by a novel or movie.

This world has few redeeming features, and one is the capacity for people to love one another with great, enduring passion.

Heavenly Father offers to you the greatest gift of all—eternal life—and the opportunity and infinite blessing of your own “happily ever after.”

Dogs have fleas; people have each other. We are born to die. Life is a continuing tragic comedy. Everything and everyone we love suffers. Anybody who doesn't see that has not grown up and known life.

In reality, you don’t ever change the hurricane. You just learn how to stay out of its path.
