The greatest problem all around the world today whether in America Japan China Russia India or anywhere else in the world is that people are not in peace. People want peace.

I took a speed-reading course and read War and Peace in twenty minutes. It involves Russia.

There was this mountain village in Russia where my music was getting in on some German radio station. I remember this because music used to get up to Saskatchewan from Texas. Late at night after the local station closed down.

It really depends but generally speaking just because of the mechanics of it voice-over is easier because there is no hair no makeup no wardrobe no fittings no line memorizing. You don't have to me woken up in Russia at 6 in the morning and go film a scene. It's just easier on the body the family life to do voice-overs.

President Obama has outsourced a major portion of the U.S. space program to the Russians. That's national policy. Taxpayer money. So let's stop playing games with this outsourcing distortion and talk about the fact that when we need is a president that knows how to manage big enterprise and create jobs.

'Evil men have no songs.' How is it that the Russians have songs?

When men are arrested without any legal basis and for political reasons it's merely a routine everyday occurrence in Russia and hardly anyone has any sympathy.

The tradition of Russian literature is also an eastern tradition of learning poetry and prose by heart.

I think Russian people are learning that democracy is not an alien thing it's not a western invention.

I had this wild imagination. I was never me. All my childhood photos I'm in fancy dress playing a Russian refuge or Marvelous Mad Madam Mim.
