Above all things I believe in love.

I fight cynicism. It`s too easy. It`s really boring. It`s much harder to be positive and see the wonder of everything. Cynicism is a bunch of people who aren`t as talented as other people, knocking them because they make them feel even more untalented.

In far Eastern Russia, there's just some towns that time has forgotten. I guess they used to maybe be industrial or something that are now there's just lots of rusty hulks of buildings and a lot of people wandering around, a lot of alcoholism and violence because people have got nothing to do and no work. Yet people were very generous.

Starting with a party scene for 600 cast and end up singing on top of a giant elephant...does it get any better than this?

I don't want to make decisions about what I'm going to do before I'm doing it because I base my acting off my partner and off the other people in the scene.

There is some really good crack when I come back here. This is where I learned to swear.

Above all things I believe in love.
