I have some Russian friends. But probably only 10 percent. I don't hang out usually in the big Russian communities in Brooklyn and New Jersey.

Running a company is pretty demanding.

I found that dance, music, and literature is how I made sense of the world... it pushed me to think of things bigger than lifes daily routines... to think beyond what is immediate or convenient.

The Russian people get so insanely close to each other as friends. Their lives are interrelated so much on an everyday basis.

To achieve some depth in your field requires a lot of sacrifices.

I do not try to dance better than anyone else. I only try to dance better than myself.
