Keeping up with everything I do requires some sacrifices, but once and a while I need to take some time to myself.

If you are ambitious you can have a moment of glory but it will most likely be temporary. But talent always finds its way out.

I completely admire my mother for raising a child with cerebral palsy at home.

We all have our own purpose in life and I feel very strongly that I have a bigger purpose than giving to just my immediate family and friends.

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

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.

As a child I really didn't like men at all, in fact.
