If you're a devoted collector of design, you seek out objects you can love to live with but also live in.

I have always dreamed of bringing an exhibit of Mark Rothko to Moscow.
I had a happy childhood: extremely outdoorsy and independent.

I used to arm wrestle my roommate in college. Based on that, I'm in pretty good shape.
anyone definitely work yell
I never yell or scream. I mean, definitely not at work. I never yell at anyone I work with.
art draw interest loved since
I have had an interest in art since childhood. I loved to draw as a child and still do.
I feel like anything I've ever done, I've been strongly advised not to do.
bit might
I don't see myself as a person who just does one thing. I understand that sometimes that might sound a bit unprofessional. But I disagree.
definitely home time
I definitely feel Russian. I feel Russian, but at the same time when I'm in the States I feel at home, too.
guess hearing interests pure watching work
I guess artists are living inspiration. There's something very pure about a person that fantasizes. I like hearing their stories, watching them work. Their take on the world interests me. It's not unified.

When you're in a situation that is foreign to you, you just have to pull yourself together and adapt.
The more I read, the more I realise what I don't know.
insulting
If a stranger is writing something completely fictitious, or insulting me on a blog or a tabloid, I don't take it personally.
believe
I believe in carbon offset initiatives, in eco-villages, in the sustainable regeneration of the tropical rainforest.
