...drinking women much worse than men.

Can't hate those who betrayed me, is their damn business. These people simply become indifferent to me. Figuratively speaking, I go, say, on the banks of the river, and the man drowning: of course, I reach out and pull him, but to help pressing linen will not.

I appreciate sincere and natural relationship. Often people wear masks behind which to conveniently hide, and when they are themselves, is the most valuable.

My friend Vova Reznik, now deceased, at the time, I explained the basic tenet of the Tao: if you fell in the water, there are two ways. One is to start trying to swim upstream, to resist. Then very quickly lose strength and drown. And the other is to go with the flow, and somewhere you will beat to the shore. And along the shore you can go back to the place where you need to go. This is very wise.

...a good man is good, when you sit in the company. But when working, it is better that it was a professional. In any case. Even if just to clean the toilet at the cottage. Come good man, will be nice to smile and shit splattered the entire area. Comes the professional - the silence will do, gently, so that drops don't stay anywhere. With professionals pleasant to deal with.

Alcohol - it's a time machine, only moving in one direction. When you're after a binge woke up and was surprised to learn what day it is...

When talking about the man that he was a former alcoholic, I think it's utter nonsense. It's like Dovlatov was said: "the Former Prince". As the Prince cannot be the former, and an alcoholic. Just there are alcoholics who don't drink.

Sometimes had to do it only for the money. Yes, buy an apartment, car, cottage wanted, too... But often I just wanted to eat! Unfortunately, as experience shows, the money that you have for your trash got in store don't go. This money is sickening. There is an old tale about Anatoly Papanova and the famous Director Joseph Heifits. Window saw Anatoly Dmitrievich in some terrible movie and wondered: "Why did you co-starred in this movie?" And he said, "you Know, I bought the apartment. Wife wants a chandelier". Heyfits the rest of your life in pain, remembering this story: Papanov was joking or told the truth? So I very much filmed "behind the chandelier"...

It just so happens that this is the only profession where you can be anything you want.
