Of course! Youth is, above all, health. And in old age the most terrible thing is thoughts about youth, and that they do not arise, we must keep ourselves in shape beforehand. Say "who would speak" ... I say, although I do not follow this rule at all. I bow to the strength of the will of those who, it turns out, watch for themselves. It is very important. There will be health - there will be a youth.
For the last couple of decades, the legend of the stage Alla Pugacheva appeared before us in a new quality - a true modern woman who achieved harmony in her professional activities and personal life. Conquering the musical Olympus, she contributed to the world of beauty, releasing perfume and collections of model shoes, and became the author of the program on Radio Alla. At the same time, family welfare was not affected - she had a loving daughter and two well-off grandsons. We wondered how she did it.
How do you manage to keep your attractiveness? I swear, I do not know. Probably, because I did not envy anyone, I did not chase anywhere, did what I love. I adore the audience, because for me the stage is a means of communication. She helps me stay young and beautiful.
How often do you allow yourself to rest? I rest 7 hours a day - I sleep. And I just can not rest from everything in one way, for one reason: my head is working all the time, I'm thinking about something, and then it, of course, pours out into a new song. It used to be: he left for dacha, my grandmother will prepare everything for you, and you do not think about anything except how to run to the river, swim, ride a bicycle, and in your head - emptiness, emptiness. This, of course, has not happened for a long time. But, maybe, thinking about good - this is just the rest.
Where and how do you like to relax?
20 years ago I found myself such a place - Zurich in Switzerland. I liked to be there because I kind of "went to the bottom": I came alone, went down from the mountain down to the old city, then went back - seven sweats off me. There the air is healthy for me, I felt fine there and came back 10 days later, like a petal of a rose. True, I have not gone there for several years, although I really want to. Now I calmly rest at my dacha, this also helps to stay in shape.
Do you follow any diet? So many diets in my life have been, I will not even recommend you one of them. There are special calorie tables, but I think you just need to eat less, move more, breathe fresh air, and most importantly - that during a meal there was a good mood. Then all the calories go where you need. Found, from whom to ask about diets! I try, of course, to keep ...
The best diet is to close your mouth. If you have already discovered, eat with pleasure. Less think about it. It would be health.
Some believe that health is given from above. Do you believe in destiny?
I believe in destiny and I'm happy that my fate has turned out to be quite good, let's just say so. My life is interesting, difficult and joyful. It seems to me that something is written about everyone in the book of destinies. Just need to be able to read it.
Do you believe in supernatural forces?
Faith in God in many ways supports me and in many situations saves. I'm absolutely sure that I have a strong guardian angel, that God sees and hears everything. Of course, as without prayers? "Our Father" I know. I start the day with him and finish it. I have a little prayer book with morning prayers, prayers for wanderers, for health, from enemies. I believe these forces should be close to the person, they feel protection.
You have a wonderful daughter. How did you manage to bring her up with such a tight tour schedule? Despite the fact that Christina lived with my grandmother, my mother Zinaida Arkhipovna, I myself, of course, also engaged in her upbringing. My mother brought it up amazingly. And my contribution was that I explained to her a lot in my life, I wanted her to become independent. She told her about her work, took her on tour, she saw a lot, she knew how hard it was. After all, education by one's example is the most important thing. You can teach correctly, keep a fork and knife, but you can not just teach a way to life, work and people. We have wonderful relations with her.
How to avoid sharp angles when dealing with children and grandchildren?
With this there are no problems. Probably, in my life the principle is laid: not to create problems in the family. We immediately solve them somehow, because if the daughter is dissatisfied with something, something is wrong with her, naturally, I go to meet her, I try to smooth the corners. If your grandchildren have something wrong, sit down and understand. Of course, the older grandson sometimes has intonations and deeds that we do not like. But at this moment you just need to remember that we also had this in our youth, and try to talk to him in one language, to give examples that will be useful to him in life. Perhaps, in some cases, we are also wrong when these acute angles appear.
