- Sergey Petrovich, you celebrated the 75th anniversary in several places. How are you impressions?
- survived ... (laughs.) In general, nothing special, everything is as usual. I arrived in the morning in the billiard room, where I told a lot of pleasant things. Moreover, there also organized the tournament of my name. With a live person. (Smiles.) Then handed me a diploma, we played a party, after that I went to my dacha. There was a person fifty, probably. The wife prepared a lot of delicious dishes, drank, sang songs ... Two of my buddy Alexander Markhakovsky and Anton Zhukov, virtuosos, laureates of gondiia, played in balalaikas. The next day I was still congratulated in the house of the movie ... In general, I do not like to celebrate birthdays. It looks like torture. (Laughs.) Someone very accurately determined once: it's like a rehearsal funeral - they say a lot of beautiful words.

- You started your birthday with colleagues in a billiard club, and it can be assumed that this game you are passionate about the joke. Hold a long time in the hands of Ki?
- Fifty years old. Igor Moiseev was the closest my billiards partner. He played both chess and billiards. The chess beat on the move by Seventeenth-twenty, and I still provided some resistance in the billiards. He lost one party, another thing - me. I remember, we played during the filming of the film "Sing the song, poet," where the Moiseev ensemble was just presented. We lived in one cottage and there was billiards there. Here in the evenings, I enjoyed him with pleasure. There was also another people's artist, the talented Jongler of the circus Nikolai Olkhovikov, the great billiardist, with whom everyone considered the honor to play, although he did it only for money. But, however, let's give a dimensionless toide as me. Fifteen years ago, a billiard table was presented to me for the sixtieth anniversary. But at home to play rarely.

- In the mid-90s you created a small museum of Sergei Yesenin. How did you manage to collect this private exposure?
- Some rare exhibits were brought to a gift. Percent of ninety of them are bought for my own money. Well, what is this here? One collects brands, others - hippo, third - cats. Well, I am doing a museum. There sculptures, lifetime publications, books. Here they hanged a label: "Alcoholic". Well, drank, it was a case, rosychyril. But he said: nothing, let them consider a rowdy, and they will come to the collapse - my book will buy the fastest of other authors. And this so-called hooligan and deboshire for ten years published 31 books. I managed to collect only 26, and five - children's editions. And what children do with books, everyone knows: Ships are built, airplanes ...
- Well, don't you know: you have two grandchildren!
- Yes, two grandchildren. Peter I and Catherine II. They are still small, though. Pet nine years will be fulfilled in June. Kathenka will soon be three years old, and they have already learned the "Letter of Tatiana." She would need to read "Our Tanya crying loudly - dropped the ball into the river," and she studies "I write to you - what is more, what else can I say?" And Petya for four years read "Borodino" Lermontov, then we learned the "Poltava" Pushkin, passage "and the battle is born ...". Now I try to pick up good books. I often see him for the book Kira Bulychev, he is interested in fantastic stories. At the turn of Rudyard Kipling, I want to advise the "Jaja Bazhov" yet. And then already, I think, years after nine-ten and "Robinson Cruzo" it's time. And for my birthday, he made me a gift at my request. I asked him to call it to call the story of Chekhov "Vanka" to a separate notebook. And he rewritten! And I gave the grandfather, after which the grandfather just got slandered.

- What do you think grandchildren will become artists?
"If such a talent says and not stop it, as it happened to me, it probably makes sense to try." And in time to leave, because the acting profession is very dependent. This, by the way, is one of the reasons why I went to the director. I told myself: I will not depend on the directors, I myself will put pictures and shoot myself. And in many of my paintings I was shot.
- Now work in some projects?
- Finishing the 220th role in the movies. The film is called "from the day of the vertex." I play the coach of the Paralympic team. Perhaps that's all I can say. There were two suggestions, but I refused. Again, they offer to play policemen, and I have already played them. Yes, and all these shooters, catch-up, tongue to the jaw to me are already uninteresting. It is very difficult now to find good dramaturia. I would have filmed for free in the pictures of Ostrovsky's works. I may put them myself. But I feel that in this case the director must be more accurate.
Beautiful anniversary gift

- Many of your colleagues still can not understand how you are in your 75 look so young?
- My friend congratulated me, Cardiologist Igor Josephovich Buziashvili. Called and asked: "How do you feel?" I say: "Well-being? Today it turned 75 today, and I feel like yesterday, as if 74 more. " What are my secrets? You need to do good things, so I will say you. There is a lot to work, and I do not resist. There is a work in the cinema - wonderful, no - it means that you spend more time a museum, grandchildren. And these are all good deeds. Create good - and you will be young!
