According to the old musical tradition, Valery Syutkin celebrated anniversary on stage in a circle of comrades and fans. With great difficulty, believing that the singer exchanged the seventh dozen, congratulated the birthday boy and talked to him about the eternal youth, the favorite business and the success of children.
- Valery, can we talk about what you personally have the attitude towards age somehow changes?
"When you are 5 years old, a year stretches for a long time." Why? Yes, because it is one fifth of your lived life. And since I have already started one sixtieth, then, of course, time flies faster. Here is a purely mathematics, no more. (Laughs.)
- How much do you feel?
- Well, hurts in different places, so in principle good. That's when in one place and every day - it is already alarming.

- What is the secret of eternal youth? Or where do you keep your portrait Dorian Gray?
"Because with age, the character goes to the face of everyone with us, to look good, you need to do less in self-confidence, do not envy anyone, treat with self-irony to yourself, feel joy from simple things. In addition, I live with a charming young woman, so it affects me with his youth. (Laughs.) I need to quickly move quickly, match her. This is also one of the main secrets.
- You said: Less envy, self-flops, more joy from simple things. What, for example?
- Attitude towards people, to life. What is wisdom? This is when you know what you do not need to pay attention. It is necessary to get upset only in exceptional cases: when closest people are sick, something threatens life and native leaves. The rest is nonsense.
- Your concerts always pass one scenario - not boring, not tightened ...
- I as a viewer does not like concerts for more than two hours. Therefore, I go to meet your viewer - I give the most interesting.

- Does it manage to go to concerts?
- I visit. I am happy to do it. The Rolling Stones were extreme - we flew to Paris on the last concert of their European tour.
- Some fans, probably, were surprised at the absence of Yevgeny Havtan in the anniversary concert, your associate for "Bravo" ...
- This is not a question for me. I invited him for eight months. But, as it turned out, he cannot allocate for me in his schedule on March 24, on this day he has urgent things - he said. I wanted to see him not because it would be impossible to play something without him. This is a tribute. This is logical. And this is no feat. He would play on the guitar, I would sing those songs that we wrote in our time in the five-year plan "Bravo". But since he was not - they coped themselves.

- In one cognitive children's series, where many domestic stars are involved, you wrote a book about mosquito. Why exactly about mosquito?
- The essence of this series is to tell the kids about a particular animal. I remember, looked at the project curator and asked: "Tigers and Lviv, of course, disassembled?" - "Sure". Thought about whom to write. And then I remembered that Mikhal Mikhalych Zhvanetsky has such a short essay about mosquito. He says: "Have you ever tried to have a mosquito? Far away. He does not fly. That is, he flies, but by itself and spits on you. Therefore, it is necessary to be easy and independent. " I really like it, because I love to be easy and independent. So I asked about the mosquito. I was given good. I learned a lot for myself.
- For example?
- That Komar lives four lives. What only females bite. It causes irony.
- Your daughter Viola also wrote a book called "Nicolas and Natalie" ...
- You are so well aware! (Laughs.) Yes, she has a book Nicolas and Natalie. And still literary works - for example, a book "Fantasies and poetry". These are such children's pranks. But she continues. Studies at the Scenario Faculty. Engaged in the theater and sometimes writes. She had several critical theatrical work in magazines, where she covered seen performances. I will not say that this is a profession for her - theatrical critic, but one of the directions. If journalism, then about the theater. She published verses, some more things. On my part there was no lobby absolutely. My task was to give her such an opportunity. Now she ends in the sorbonne theatrical faculty - in French. She got the first diploma in English. The French herself learned, passed the level that allows them to do, and entered a huge competition to twenty people in place. It is like our highest directing courses. She is younger in the group.

- What are their future plans for life related?
- I know for sure, it is connected with the theater. Moreover, both in Russia and in Europe. All sorts of refractive. She is not an actress, it is a formulation, scenario, original moves, critical articles about the theater. She is theater. I told her that the main thing was to do what you like. And she put the performances even at school. The main thing is that it is a scene!
- Tell me, and your loved ones helped you in preparing for an anniversary concert or did not interfere?
- Viola spouse now and always beside me. Helps always. And our juliet dog is always there. The daughter of Viola flew specially from France. Fucking, as usual, between two Viols, the desire, which, as usual, will come true. The daughter flew along with the boyfriend.
- Are you at the moment satisfied with what your children have achieved?
- Yes, as I say, my children are decent people (except for the Viol daughter, Valeria has a son and daughter from previous marriages, in 2014 the musician became a grandfather. - Ed.). I gave them an education. They all work. Grow granddaughter. Viola, with which I was constantly being, when she grew, fundamentally received very good and multilateral education. Now I will watch it starts to embody it into life. She is a worker. Do not lazy. Lives an independent life, well done. Interested in the spiritual component. She has no bad habits that need to be eradicated. Non-drinking, non-smoking man. Excellent!
- Valery, summing up, admit what is your ease of being?
- It seems to me that you have to be busy. When you are busy, it is one of the most efficient and cheapest drugs on Earth. And all because nothing sticks to you. You like the theater, like my daughter, are engaged in the theater. I always liked to play the guitar, delight people to entertain them on dancing and see what they like. This is greater pleasure than flowers, autographs and applause. I am important to the process itself. Therefore, the secret of happiness is that you are busy with this business that takes all your time. And the time after you worked, I want to spend with your favorite people. And there is no feeling that you are doing some kind of unpleasant and unnecessary work. And this gives the very lightness and feeling of fullness and happiness. Favorite business plus favorite people. I always say: you need to do so that the people who are not suitable for you are not suitable for you.
