I was born in Nizhny Novgorod to a very poor family and unfortunately my father and mother separated when I was very little.

Moscow is a huge inspiration for me. I love what I find here, I love being here.

I think escapism is very important, certainly in my life. I love nothing more than escaping into the world of a film or a novel. To be involved in creating that for other people is a privilege.

Americans are not gonna conserve. We're not gonna shift to smaller cars. We can't - we have big, fat kids.

A fool may talk, but a wise man speaks.

Love wants to enjoy in other ways the human being whom it has enjoyed in bed; it looks forward to having breakfast.

Only the one true God can take the risk of ruling by relying on the power of humility and love.

It takes strong men and women to love ... people strong enough inside themselves to love ... without humiliation.
