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

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

The polynomial xn−1 is a force of nature.

I love this game, I love this sport, I love this league. Why don't I get my own team? (English Premiership football club)

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.

How are the germs made into a ring? By adding and multiplying.

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