I only know how to play one role: me.
If I was a woman in Russia, I would be a lesbian, as the men are very ugly. There are a few handsome ones, like Naomi Campbell's boyfriend, but there you see the most beautiful women and the most horrible men.
I want everyone to wear what they want and mix it in their own way. That, to me, is what is modern.
