Olga, tell me how you became an actress.
- It happened by chance - I did not dream about this profession. Once passed by the Schukinsky school, and I liked this place, I felt it was mine.
Can you characterize your acting role?
- It is difficult, because it seems to me that I do not belong to any of the known roles. Agreeing to the role, the dramatic component in the life of the heroine is important to me. For me it does not matter in what era she lives and how old she is. I never compare myself with my heroines, because in the image I get used to the time of work.
And you take your positive character traits from your heroines.
- People have such an opinion that I play only kind heroines. This is not true! Aglaya Epanchina from the series "Idiot" is by no means quiet: because of her ambition, Prince Myshkin perished, Nastasya Filippovna was killed. Galina Kuznetsova from the drama "Diary of his wife" destroyed the family of Ivan Bunin. Perhaps the only positive image is Princess Anastasia Romanova. About Hope Allilueva can not say anything, it's a tragic figure, it's not a category of good and evil. One of my last roles, Dr. Selivanova, is also ambiguous, helping my neighbor is a plus, and the number of her abortions made is minus.
They say that art requires sacrifice. You have to make sacrifices.
- To date, I'm building my life and relationships with the movie so, one hundred it helps me, but does not interfere. In fact, one hundred had to shave off for the role of Anastasia Romanova, nothing terrible there. Changing the appearance - one of the components of the acting profession. But this is not a sacrifice.
After the marriage and the birth of a son, you played the wife of Stalin. This is the case or you decided that you need to return only with a serious role.
- During this period I was offered to withdraw for a lot of money in advertising hair spray. But I believe that a real actress should go out of maternity leave with a big role, and not with advertising. After reading the script of the film, I told the producer that if I did, it was only the main role.
Olga, you are a movie actress and do not serve in any theater. Why?
I don `t want. I do not like theatrical way of life. I do not accept the dictatorship of the director. I am my own mistress.
This inner freedom allows you to engage in not only creativity, but also charity. Tell us about this in more detail.
Now I'm involved in creating a school for foster parents who need psychological support when adopting children. I am interested in the problems of orphanages: I go there and provide the necessary assistance. For today I am engaged in the decision of destinies of children of refuseniks. Being a famous person, I do everything in my power.
- And your 4-year-old son is brought up the same way as your parents brought up you?
There is absolutely no other way. I watch TV very rarely at home, I forbid the child to watch it. I show Naumu only old Soviet films and cartoons, on which our generation was brought up. They are kind, eternal and qualitatively made. I think isolation from modern TV will only give a positive result.
You can play several musical instruments. You attach the son?
- Naum has cymbals, a flute, a pipe, a metal phone and a toy guitar, but he uses them, but his mood. I play all the keyboards, including the accordion.
Naum goes to kindergarten?
-No, he has a home education. I can not find a kindergarten yet. Which would suit me.
