Roman, confess, is it profitable to be a musician? Or lawyers-economists earn more?
It depends on how you do your work, depending on what kind of musician or lawyer-economist you are. However, if you are not a star, just an artist, you earn little. 90% of musicians go on stage only for their own pleasure.
Popularity does not interfere with your personal life?
Sometimes. Incidentally, I do not like to appear in public places: as if you belong not to yourself, but to the crowd. Although it's all about upbringing. That's when I was unknown and met some celebrity, then with all the desire to come up and talk to a living star, I did not do it. I understood that, quite possibly, a person now has a different mood and there is no desire to communicate with me.
What was your most unusual deed?
I did not expect from myself that I could go to another city for a long time. I'm talking about my trip to Kiev for a month and a half. I walked alone, collected materials for my songs. I do not know how to others, but I need to be alone for inspiration.
What kind of question about yourself have you never heard from journalists?
I always want specific and understandable questions, from which my eyes would catch fire, and I could chat for half an hour on this topic without stopping. Well, maybe something domestic - for example, that I can cook. Or about music - what, how and where it works.
And we want so much to find out something more important: which girls do you prefer - blondes or brunettes? And anyway, what qualities attract you?
I do not have any stereotypes. There are no ideals. You either love a person or you do not.
And if the girl is your friend?
There is no friendship between a man and a woman.
Why would you never forgive a girl?
Everything can be forgiven. When you love, you do not bargain. But of course lies and treason is very difficult to forgive.
What character trait do you like most?
Well I do not know. It's so hard to talk about myself.
Well, why would you praise yourself?
I can praise myself for the fact that my songs are needed by many people, including many of my fans. I've been told this many times, and it's very pleasant and valuable.
And what's not to like?
I sometimes happen, unrestrained and often I run ahead.
Do you somehow justify in your life your pseudonym "Beast"? What is it expressed in?
And why justify? In every person there is something animal.
