I have no Napoleonic dream. I'm just hard-working and pragmatic.

I'm realising my dream of owning a top football club. Some will doubt my motives, others will think I'm crazy.

To tell the truth I cannot call my childhood bad. In your childhood you can't compare things: one eats carrots, one eats candy, both taste good. As a child you cannot tell the difference.

In Moscow I feel most comfortable. I'm used to four different seasons; it's difficult for people in London to understand. People brought up in Russia like my kids want to play in the snow.

If I had to think where I could live if not Moscow, London would be my first choice and second would be New York.

I myself never make any notes. Usually, if I write something down, I can't read it afterwards.

But charity is a very complicated thing. Its important to find an area where you can really help and you can feel the results. Charity is not like feeding pigeons in the square. It is a process that requires professional management.
