"It's hard for me to say that the main thing. But now I'm crazy about directing.

Even stopped playing in the performances of our theater, because these are two different professions: an actor and a director. There were performances in my practice where I combined this, that is, I played in my own productions. It takes too much effort. Because you need to disconnect from yourself as an actor: to put on a play. And you have to turn yourself off as a director on stage when you're playing, because you have to be an actor, not to direct yourself around ". This is reported by "Arguments and Facts Ukraine".
