| What is your most memorable childhood experience? | It's hard to choose just one of them. I have fond memories of the fun I had and the friends I made when I was on a soccer team. |
| What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | My mother. Because she was the one who used to take care of me mostly, and we share the traits of honesty and straightforwardness. |
| What character traits do you admire in an individual? | I admire hard work and determination to reach one's goals. I also admire naivety, because it shows that one isn't spoiled yet. |
| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | Once, I was talking to my friend in Russian about a fat guy sitting next to us, and after fifteen minutes we realized the fat guy also spoke Russian and had overheard everything we said. |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | I've travelled enough. I would opt to stay home and play piano. |
| When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | I would like to give my future children the advantage of deciding for themselves what they want, and the support they need to reach their dreams. |
