True love stories never have endings.
As a filmmaker, I've had films that over-achieved and I've had films that under-achieved. You always go in trying to do your very best.
It's really fun to create something that touches the world.

When you're an actor, you show up and it's wonderful because you're in the world of make-believe.
Actors can make five movies a year. A director can make one movie, every two years. It's a whole different level of commitment and of sweat equity, and therefore there's a direct correlation to passion.
Actors can become very involved in a role, but for a director or producer, that's your life for many years.

Now I want to use money in a good way. I make foundations back home in Russia, I have sponsored vaccinations for more than one million children in my homeland and I have founded scholarships in the names of my great Russian compatriots - Oistrakh, Richter, Gilels, Shostakovich, Prokofiev and Schnittke.
I like Stella McCartney, Chloe, Alexander McQueen, Aaron Featherstone, normal Chanel if I can ever afford it, I'd be wearing that all the time! I like to admire from afar.
