There are hierarchies in B-Town regarding many things, not just gender. Men also go through a lot in this industry.

We have so many male superstars, but there are just a few female actors who have attained that status. It is not only because of the industry; it's in the society.

I find it very important to keep learning because, as an actor, you get exhausted. You need more emotion, more experience... you need something to base everything on.

My memories mean a lot to me, and I hold them close to my heart.

As a kid, I mostly played as a No 10. When I was really young, I played as a striker. But I grew a lot when I was older, and when I was 15, 16, I had a big growth, and so I changed a little bit and became slower.

Gone are the days when you'd have to tune in to a mad illegal radio station late at night to be able to hear the rapper of your choice. That's all changed now. That's all gone out of the window. And I feel like I represent that change. I represent the era of iPods and Shuffle and things like that.

The red directors were one of the main political forces. Another force was the former Soviet ministers who lost everything because of the transformation of the Soviet Union to Russia.

Early on in my career, I'd go into the makeup trailer, and they'd spend an hour doing my makeup, and I would hate it. I'd go into the bathroom, wash it off and start over again, which took an enormous amount of time. So I just started doing it myself.
