I myself, in my heart, say that people should have all the children they want. But it's a mistaken idea, like many of our ideas that go back thousands of years, and it must be rooted out.

Maybe I would have considered the problem if I'd met someone with whom I'd have liked to live. But I never met this someone and... No, even if I had met him, I'm sure I wouldn't have got married again. Why should I get married now that my life is so full? No, no, it's out of the question.

I'm not ambitious. Not a bit.

Now I don't get upset by unpleasant things, I don't play the victim, and I'm always ready to come to terms with life.

I want to succeed. And I want to succeed in the best way possible, without caring whether people call my actions leftist or rightist.

My father cared very much about courage, physical courage as well. He despised those who didn't have it. But he never said to me, 'I want you to be courageous.' He just smiled with pride every time I did something difficult or won a race with the boys.

My father was a saint. I'm not.
