Zemfira If I could turn to God I would say that he is unfair

She does not like to be in public, but she workson the stage. This is her eternal internal conflict, a long-standing dilemma. August 26, she turned 40. In front of you are the most vivid quotes from the interviews, which tell how the singer lives by what rules.

I am something opposite to the definition of "glamorous", because I am not a formalist. And the term "glamor" assumes some kind of ideal form.

From childhood it seemed to me that I was given a little more than my peers. In adolescence, this sensation is minewas gone. But then I started a musical career. And there I stood out again against the background of my classmates. So I somehow said: "I'm a star." But the star in my view is a little more gifted person. Now I hardly would have said that, because the word "star" has a negative connotation.

The best songs are those you wrote in five minutes.

I do not evaluate my texts as poetry and do not consider myself a poet. I'm writing the lyrics. It's not that easy for me to do music, it's just clearer, because I can practice music as a hobby to calm down. And the texts ... I need to write a certain text - it's more work.

I never adjust to the format. I try to write so that I like the result.

I would not want to know what people think of me. But I follow the comments on social networks. And of course, the pleasant phrase of a colleague in my address can cheer me up. But criticism - criticism can not hurt me. Because I am the most cruel censor myself.

I was often advised in my life to relax, not to pay attention to anything. I hate such advice. If I could do it, but I can not. It is better to me not to climb with such advice.

It's very difficult to please me. I am unhappy with musicians, I am not happy with myself very often. I have very high demands: to myself and others. Perfectionism is my cross. Sometimes I think that this is a mental illness.

Unhappy love is very nutritious. More than mutual. You can not talk about it at all, but I'm singing about it.

I fall in love with talent, not in beauty. In grain, in the core, but not in the shell.

Aging also does not soar me. I think I'm only good over the years.

I can not find the reasons why I would like everyone to like me. Because I understand the impossibility of it. You have to be who you are. And to understand that you are who you are now. No more, no less. I understand.

I'm not asking anyone for anything. I do not ask for help, just do not disturb me. I'm a fighter.

If I had the opportunity to turn to God, I would tell him that he is unfair.

I do not like to attract attention, but I'm standing on stage. This is my personal conflict, my long-standing dilemma.

Politicians are very dangerous people. This is a very slippery profession, and I have no need to approach them. And the government has no need to use me.

The word "normal" for me is more likely from the category of shortcomings.

What is the meaning of life? You know? Me not. Will find - inform.

About a man is judged by his actions. In my case - on the songs. That's why I fight for them. Because my songs are my most accurate portrait.
