1. About me
Before my birth, my parents worked in Persia, in Tehran. Father was intelligence, but it was believed that it serves in the trading. It was from there that they brought the name of Eldar for me, because it was rare, beautiful, Turkic. And I am very grateful to my parents, because the person who once heard the combination of Eldar and Ryazanov, immediately and forever remember him.
How much I remember, I was a "winding" book - at school I was even called the "walking encyclopedia". In the eighth grade, I decided to become a writer! But I quickly realized that my life experience was not enough for writing books. And I decided to choose a profession that will allow me to survive a lot.
In my life enough and approval, and swearing. Critics regularly trapped me in the dirt, I went with bulldozers. And when I go down the street, then a lot of people thank me for my films. Therefore, I consider the most important achievement that I managed not to be criticized, but to remain, no matter what.
I know for sure: if a person is not able to laugh at himself, he has no right to joke on others. Humor begins with himself - to be able to see himself funny, ridiculous. In general, I think that humor is a brand, which opens all the doors.
2. About work
I never wanted to be an actor, but I would like to be invited to play. But I was not invited anywhere, even my friends. Therefore, I decided that you need to use official position. And he began to play in his episodes, such tiny rollers.
Each director has its own directorial secrets. There are mathematics directors who build some schemes and know in advance what they need. And I almost all films were removed intuitively.
Why am I so long and hard to do all this? I must say that I am a working horse. And if they say that the work of fools loves, then I am an absolute boy and a fool ...
I confess: the oath no longer remove the movie I gave several times. I will explain why. First, age. At that age, no one removes a big movie. Secondly, I no longer want to poke money on my films. This is humiliating and disgusting!
I used to go to many wealthy people, and always met me under the white handles, offered cognac, tea-coffee. Be sure to say: "I grew up on your films!" But no money was given. And every time I thought: if these people brought up on my films and grew up such a greedy generation, then what shit I put!
3. On the "Irony of Fate"
Today it is hard to believe in it, but even the "irony of fate" did not want to produce allegedly "due to the propaganda of drunkenness." I remember how I swore for the fact that I sent Yakovleva to a coat under the shower. They said: it is unreal, it does not happen. It turns out that it is also not like that.
I'm often asked, not from my life taken the plot of "Irony of Fate"? Not! I do not like the bath and I do not go to her. In childhood, when I was seven or eight years old, men in the village dragged me into the pair. And I lost consciousness there from the heat. Since then, in the steam room either
A few years ago, under the New Year, I was lying with a light cold and after a big break, for years for fifteen-twenty years, revised Ironia. After that, I said Emma: "You know, I begin to understand the people. There is something in this film. "
4. Age
When I was young, I dreamed to live until 2000. It seemed to me in an unsinkable luck. But I, as you can see, has lived in the twentieth century for fifteen years. Of course, I get sick and get into the hospital, but so far I rarely feel an old man.
Recent years have become losses for years and for me personally. My wife Nina Skubin was gone - we had a difficult and happy love. And then one after another left me on this earth expensive comrades, beautiful like-minded people, loyal friends. Mikhail Matusovsky, Evgeny Evstigneev, Mikael Tariverdiev, Raisa Lukina, Zinovy Gerdt, Yuri Nikulin ... It seems the twentieth century, leaving, unstartially took with me the best, without leaving them for life in the coming century.
If it were not for Emma, then maybe it would not be worth living. She says to me often: "You hold on for me ..." And I answer, like with humor, and in fact, seriously: "And I only hold you for you ..." We are with her like horses, who are put together one on the withers . And because we are together, we are still alive.
