Writer, playwright, screenwriter

I’m very neutral about clothes. I don’t have any principles about the way I interact with things. My wife selects my clothes, she’s the expert. I trust her completely. I’ll be honest: I would be perfectly fine with wearing either a black hoodie and jeans or a suit all the time and everywhere. I like unity in form.

Whatever I do is a creative endeavour, because that’s what my profession is at all times. Moreover, everything I do is a business opportunity. I need to have proof that it will be useful to someone. Acquisitions are the best sort of proof. Previously I told stories about brands and their services to increase customer loyalty.

Now I tell stories about people. And I want people to experience joy or sadness after they’ve bought a book or a theatre ticket. I’ll leave my work behind if I notice that people are not experiencing anything.

I like to exist in various scenarios, both comic and tragic. Intertwining emotions and feelings give the audience the best overview of the world.

Everything that happens in my life is completely up to chance. I didn’t expect that I would become an author or a screenwriter. Some doors were opened for me, and I always grab hold of an opportunity.

I would wish for myself that as many doors as possible would be open to me. It’s quite possible that someday I will get tired of all this creativity and will give it up for something else.

I’ve always lived a full life. I would even venture to say that my life is currently much calmer than previously. In the past my weekends passed with breakneck speed and usually in different cities. I could fly to a different part of the world in the morning, spend a couple of days there, and then return home. It was all very spontaneous.

My workdays are much more structured nowadays. My life could be seen as much duller by regular onlookers. Even though I still perform more than 100 times per year. Not even “dull.” Much more predictable, that’s the right word.

Still, I’m happy with the way everything turned out. I like spending time with my family and to have the necessary minutes and hours to do so. Every hour with my wife is an hour filled with discoveries.

The Bosco family circle is a new sphere for me. I am forever grateful to fate or, more accurately, Vladimir Spivakov for introducing me to Mikhail Kusnirovich. They don’t make such people as they used to. A true personality and genuine humanity.
