- Elena, you are praising worthy masters, you have a lot of festival awards ... how important is it important for you?
- Of course, when prases, it's nice. And as a woman, and as a vain, ambitious person. This is the assessment of what I do. And then it all depends on your sober mind, how to treat this kind of compliments, to lean out of them the truth ... Internal censorship should be present, despite the fact that it is important for me to know the opinion of colleagues, viewers.
-You were born in Morshansk, the Tambov region, but I went to school already in the suburbs of Odintsovo, that is, the family moved almost to the capital ...
- And then I have always, by the way, lived in the center. When he studied at the Schepkinsky school died on Tverskaya, later, when he worked in Mtseu moved to the Mamonovsky lane ...
- Slaughter and hooliganism is surprising in you in an amazing way ...
- I'm a horoscope Capricorn and a monkey, so everything is clear. On face terrible, kind in. (Laughs.) And in general, it all depends on nature. If a person is thickening to hooligan, he will make it in the Kremlin Palace of Congresses. But personally, my human qualities change constantly. Like everyone, I guess. We are like water flow from one state to another. Now, for example, I'm completely calm. As a great reservoir.
- Obviously, in the young years, you have not tormented the problem of choosing a future profession, right?
- Maybe yes. I wanted baby matinees to never end. It sought this atmosphere of the eternal holiday. So, apparently, there was a desire to continue all this carnival. And I liked not to look at this event from the side, but actively involved in it, be in the thick of events, the star on the top of the Christmas tree, to which gifts are born. And how else should the holiday be organized?! (Smiles.)
- What did you get for your business feel at the institute?
- Something for something I would not want to do, that's for sure. And so liked to be in the company of people creative, passionate about some clouds. Intangible, in one word. I seemed special to me on this world, they are not invited there, but you can try to leak. Acting seemed to be the highest mathematics before. And now I think so too.

- And many do not consider this profession a particularly heavy ...
- Who is this? The actors are unlikely to say that. If only from coquetry. And so they know what their work is worth. And if this world seemed to me in his youth, then later it turned out that everything is slightly simpler, but, nevertheless, not too much. Anyway art, it is something sublime, even when and is like a palaughter. Mechanics in our area are extremely complex. Here, as actress, the history of the transformation of the personality is interesting, where a person finds his space: inside himself, or outside the soul. This is the most important thing in any era. And the actor's abilities are determined by his ability, if required, accurately rearrange their internal organs, and so that the body works correctly, and blood circulated on the veins. A good artist is quite able to change the order of interaction of impulses within himself, but at the same time not to affect the procedure of things. Here in our body lives a huge amount of bacteria, and in case of illness, they all flourish with lush color, and in the body of the artist there are all the necessary tools, and it uses them when necessary. I, being an actress, I know the mechanisms, and I can turn them on, and then turn off the same quickly. They are in an ordinary person, but he does not know how to get it out of himself. But in life I definitely do not play.
- From the part it seems that you have practically no passing roles. So strong intuition on successful material? What criteria are selecting? What is in the first place: theme, director, fee, not afraid of this word?
- What to be afraid of him?! I was yesterday at an excellent exhibition of works of art collected by the artist Hearst. And I remembered his statement about the legendary Andy Warhol, that he was the first artist who was not afraid to engage in self-advertisment, who was not afraid to call the cost of his works aloud, and did not hide the price tag at all. And, in my opinion, this approach is quite good. As you can see, I am not alien to the material benefits. I can say how much I stand. Not one Baton sausage, and two hundred fifty grams of oil. (Smiles.)
- So you sufficiently materialist?
"I believe the words of Chekhov that in a person everything should be fine." And thoughts and clothes. The artist should definitely not be hungry, otherwise he will not be concerned about the case, but as it would be satisfied. He must have enough money to think not about food, but about the development of his own personality. So I don't care, under what conditions I live, that it is. At the same time, I do not suffer about the thing, and nothing collective. My hobby is my profession. I used to come up with some classes from time to time, but they obviously did not have any difference, since they did not remain in my life.
- In this regard, I can also remember Anton Pavlovich, who said: "Who experienced the pleasure of creativity, for that all other pleasures no longer exist," this is probably also about you ...
-Well, it is so. Nothing inspires as a new project. Last year, I finished starring in the new film Andrei Zvyagintseva "Leviathan". At the moment, I hope, with Andrei Pokhkin, we have something. Moreover, the Scenario "Orleans" Yuri Arabov is wonderful. But with the abundance of work, I stand on both legs on Earth. I am preparing, I go to the stores, attend dry cleaning, I communicate with janitors. So I am among people.
- But you are not from those who are taken for five projects at the same time?
- In no case. There is no silenk. Heart one. One large-scale project, and then a lot (smiles). And the main project is, as a rule, in parallel with some television products, with sounding ... Plus, I take part in the reading program, accompanied by a symphony orchestra and Moscow chamber, under the guidance of the conductor Vladimir Minin. We with Svetlana Kryuchkov read passages from diaries and letters of front-line, collected by Svetlana Aleksievich in the book "The war is not a female face." For me, this is the highest pilot - another genre, where I still do not feel fish in the water. There I are not covered with anything.

- In the niche of the stationary theater, do not plan to return?
- I have no idea. Ten years I was in the Mtuza troupe, and today it is sometimes very fat ... and sometimes not very ... But I never sought to be an actress of the repertoire theater and depend on the will of Karabas-Barabas. I prefer to be my own mistress. I think this option is perfect for All.
- What do you think the actor needs dramatic collisions in their own destiny to be convincing?
- It all depends on the mobility of psychophysics.
- Why do you often offer to play characters older than you?
- I do not know. But unhappy, lonely, mature women with a dash fraction, single mother, waiting for a happy solution to the situation, are all my heroines.
- In the painting "Tuben, the drum" you played with Natalia Vysterly, which first became famous for the "little faith", and then asslaved in America. How is she like a partner?
- Gorgeous. Stunning actress and very one-piece woman. A piece of herself just does not break. Does not exchange on trifles. Clear! Steep aunt! Rock, and I respect her for it. It is an exclusive option. I am lucky with partners, with meetings with real people who form me. They want to go to their light. Here and Kostya Khabensky in "Geographer Globe" ... a thin actor, and a deep man, spiritual. But not always with talented people easily on the site. The actor is excellent, and man shit.
- Somehow you said that in our serials, directors are not interested in the abilities of the artist, they need only a certain texture, stamps, speed. For this reason, in your arsenal more than a full meter?
- I talked about people who came out of the TV shows, and those who ended with them. Fortunately, today there are directors from the movie on television, and it's great. Here you can call both Todorovsky, teachers, and delivered, and Ursulak, and Ostrich, senior and younger. These people make excellent multi-sieves films. So the material is solid. There were serials in my life, and they are still not the worst. And by the way, I am not that I do not put a cross on them. I will say even more, obviously, the future of the television, therefore it is a promising direction. Do not listen to those who say that it is getting rid of the "box", it is fluttering and not far away. On television there are decent educational channels that find their viewer. And, in principle, if they did not exist, the outstanding documentary tapes, for example, no one would never see, because they do not show this in cinemas. In addition, most of the classic works of art do not fit into the format of two hours, and a full-fledged story implies a much larger on-screen time. So if we talk about the enlightenment mission of television, then he has all the trumps. No one will go back for money in the cinema. And at home, near, available. I'm just for, if we will read Shakespeare from the iron. And, believe me, it is quite in the spirit of mass culture, everything will be perceived, there will be no rejection. Just adaptation will occur.

- You sang ODU television, and televisers never made you proposals from which it would be impossible to refuse?
- Believe me, the role of the TV presenter does not attract me. One thing is a demonstration of the film with my participation on television, and completely different - the transfer. I would be bored. There absolutely nothing to worry, you only need to broadcast text in a dry residue. And I need to work the juicer itself.
- You never play with a cold nose ... Where do you restore the energy?
- I sleep at home, drinking coffee. Perhaps I would like to follow the generally accepted rules - I worked, and rushed to the islands, but for some reason I did not fold. Everything is not so organized in my space. And I still learned to put up with this. (Smiles.)
- I think you are a person who keeps the distance, and you are important to have your own, personal space ...
- Undoubtedly. Loneliness I do not like, but so, abstract by everyone, and watch out of the corner, yes. I can't endure the bustle. It is in it that we make global mistakes. Often you need to stop, and just think. But for this it is not necessary to close in the rooms, go to the astral, or take a ticket to Goa, and meditate there. This stop usually happens inside me. It is noticeable only close people in my missing look. My little Zavod works offline (smiles). In the end, the shelter does not find a person in himself. I will not kill anywhere.
- Today you are in love?
- Yes.
- Then let's talk about love.
- But I do not understand anything in love, so I can not say something to you.
- What attracts you in men?
- Talent. This is the only criterion. You know, in Lithuania, all pedestrians were obliged to walk at night across the road with light reflectors, to prevent drivers, and people with such specific, special signs cling to me. And this talent is not only in the profession. In the ability to love, understand, be generous.
- Fate often makes you gifts?
- We work with life over another, we go to meet. And I do not get my awards as a gift, but earning.
- Tell me why you chose this place for our conversation?
- We are now sitting with you in the restaurant on the Patriarch, overlooking the frozen pond, which turned into a skating rink ... Favorite place in the city that does not let me go throughout the twelve years. At the moment I also live here nearby, in the old house, in a beautiful apartment-studio, in which the artist-French artist, whose Mom is a famous sculptor in France. And it was she who inspired her son that inspiration should be drawn in a naked female body, only in it you can see beauty. And he devoted his work to this topic. His works remained inheritance. All paintings are unusually juicy. Girls are written by bright colors: orange, red, cherry. Such hot bodies transmitting heat, heartbeat ...
- By this house it is better to walk without clothes.
- And I do it. (Smiles.) Surrounded by these beauties, I brother only in socks.
