When you are at the bottom, you find beauty in such little things, and goodness in such little gestures. When I compare any struggle today to ones that I may have had in my childhood, there is nothing that can bring me down.

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

I do modern jazz and contemporary combined. I like to feel strong, flexible, and so there is stretching involved.

Because of my childhood where I was constantly by myself, I always feel lonely. I have a lot of people that I absolutely love and I know love me but I can't get rid of that feeling of loneliness no matter who I'm with - even with my children.

If you never know hardship, you can't really support people around you.

I have made enough money to secure my family and that is all I care about.

I wear fragrance when I feel that just makeup is not enough. I'm not someone who uses it daily, but when I do, I feel so proud that I remembered and almost like I treated myself because I work really hard.
