Don't sing a song you can't carry off, like some 16-year-old kid singing 'My Way'. That song's not for you. You haven't lived that.

If you were born by the sea, there's always a magnet that draws you back there.

Russians have a new freedom, but as long as they don't express that freedom on a public platform.

I don't care much about success or anything like that. I've only ever wanted life to be an adventure.

I love this idea of shape-shifting and changing when you put on clothes, and turn into somebody else.

I think there's always been singers like that and i've done my fair share of cheese as well.

The way the business things work in Russia is you have to meet people, you have to go through a certain amount of etiquette and business things are done just simply by a shake of the hand and whether they like you or not.
