Since October, 17th on the channel the Inter started the project Life on the verge. In each of its issues TV presenter Zhanna Tikhonova tries on the image of a psychologist and helps the viewer to understand the loudest and most resonant cases reported in the media. About her experiences, beliefs and tastes Zhanna Tikhonova told in an exclusive interview to the TV site. UA.

Jeanne, can you tell us how your work began in the project "Life on the Verge"?.

This was preceded by a great desire and need to do something else besides "Wait for me. Ukraine". Of course, life on "Inter" is not boring. We did a lot of interesting things during this period - remember at least the "Journey Through Time", the play "In My Street ...". But this is another story that I've been waiting for. And here it happened.

How everything happens when you are ready to accept this and are ready to fully comply with it. Of course, there was a casting. This is an indispensable stage, revealing who is most suitable for this role. Television is first and foremost business, so here it is not up to emotions to choose, but to a certain extent a cold calculation. But in the end, it's still all for love turned out. (Smiling. ) How was the casting performed? Were they very worried?.

Casting is casting. I'm always worried. This is an exam for proficiency, or what?. You know, sometimes you go out with the feeling that you could have done better. And sometimes - that jumped above my own head. But in fact, your feelings - it's just your feelings. The main thing is for you to be in your place. To keep the viewer's trust preserved.

As you imagine, the viewer can be deceived and you need to cheat?.

Television is so carried away by this that many viewers do not believe even in the fact that "Wait for me. Ukraine »- all present. And, despite the fact that like everything is already on check and they can not be fooled, they are still still happy to be deceived. But it's great that I always played honestly.

You said that you were waiting for a new project. And if it did not coincide with your principles, for example? Could you refuse?.

I think - political programs and crime. Everything else - I will always accept with gratitude. Because it is always important for a creative person not to stagnate. It is important to work in different directions, if possible - in different roles. He without it withers.

Your impressions of the project: what do you expect and how you see?.

As they say: we will live - we will see. But I have every reason to believe that this will be a very qualitative story. Interesting, everyday such a story - especially for those who have time to watch the TV in the afternoon. We will sympathize, and experience, and learn from other people's mistakes, and draw conclusions.

Do you watch TV?.

Sometimes yes. Most often of professional interest. But mostly I absorb TV information archived on the Internet. It's more comfortable for me. Basically this interview. You know, a strange thing: just happened to ask some question, then immediately you get an answer. And although this is not always a direct guide to action, but you understand that adults are established and successful in our opinion, people are also bothering about similar problems. This is such a concentrate of experience. References to literature and movies, which are generously issued by the guests of the studio - only manage to catch up afterwards.

Let's return to "Life on the Verge". What is special about the project?.

The whole value of these stories is that they are applied. Everyone can learn in them himself. This is the main grain of the program. So that a person feels that he is not alone in his problem, that this is typical. We all do not have so many lines and variants of development of circumstances, similar expectations, aspirations, ideas about happiness and unhappiness. With all our diversity and disparity in each other, the situations we can get into are very similar. So that's it! With the help of our program, I hope someone will find a way out of their problem. Learn how not to exacerbate. We must hear each other. It is necessary to learn to understand and forgive. That a little deception is sure to draw a big lie behind itself. And that all the secret becomes apparent. And we must live by conscience.

Unfortunately, we fall into adulthood so unprepared that experience is given to us by stuffing cones. We enter the peak, and then excruciatingly out of it we leave. This takes so much time and so much energy ... And when should I rejoice? And when to share this joy with others? Therefore, I hope that our program will help someone early to make the right decision and exhale, having time to correct the error. At the same time, imagine all this - about uneasy life collisions - in an easy and accessible way for perception.

How hard is it for you to experience all these stories?.

Listen, I'm 16 years old in "Wait for me. Ukraine". (Smiling. ) I have my own piece of life behind me. I know how it happens. We all bear our cross and we are all sufferers in our own way. The main thing is that in this we all can find a place for experiencing and sympathizing with those who are near. But I also know how good and happy everything is. So much that we ourselves could not imagine in their most daring expectations of happiness. When the coveted white band is the real runway. We must remember this.

Do not you carry home the emotional load accumulated on the set?.

I bring interesting stories. Sometimes something funny - the incident from the set, anecdotes, which managed to tell me in short pauses of a colleague. Well, and, of course, touching stories of the heroes of the program, which struck me the most. To sit chatting for evening tea is our little family tradition.

What makes you happy?.

Starting with the first morning cup of coffee - ending with fatigue, flavored with satisfaction from a well done job. This is so, if we talk in general. Happiness, no doubt, in small things. And the sooner we learn to feel it, the better. Happiness is the absence of unhappiness - I also can not disagree. But each of us knows this state, when wings grow behind your back, when you can not fall asleep when you wait for the new day's arrival and everything is in a buzz and a hunt. That's why happy people wake up early. This is love, of course.. And the goal. When you find it, you determine, then happiness will accompany you along the way to it.

Did you ever think of launching a project of your own?.

I thought, of course. It would be connected with the movie - I'm a notable film critic. This is a series of documentaries. Music and cinema are the strongest emotional spheres that excite me most. I still do not understand how people can create all this. Can you imagine what our life would be like if there were no two components in it? They cause creeps and tears of catharsis. Well, and, of course, the difficult stories of human destinies. I love it when in life, like in a movie.

What was the last film or album that caught you?.

This year was very lucky at the film premieres: La Lalende, It's just the end of the world, Odyssey Cousteau, Light in the Ocean, Jackie ... Cold winter evenings are not disdainful serials. With the difference that the "Game of Thrones", for example, never entered, as I did not try. (Smiling. ) Listening to the old music. Sometimes here is the old-old. Or old in new arrangements. Here everything is tightly tied to the mood. Although more often forced to listen to rap. It comes from the room of Masha's daughter. There used to be times: we listened to my music full of volume ... Now its. Although, let him introduce.

And you do not want to push your daughter to television?.

No I do not want to. Everyone has his own path. My task is a little to orient and support, I think so. Let him seek and try. It should bring her happiness, pleasure and - it would be good to have money. And I'm for the craft, which at any time will help keep afloat, be necessary. Man must do something with his hands. And not only to wander in the clouds in search of inspiration.

Did your parents also think about your choice?.

Well, with all the democracy in our family there were things that were not discussed. This as for the basic, educational base. Later, it became possible the options in which they supported me. I'm not sure that they were all pretty, but thank them for believing in me, understanding and patience.

And now the parents are like? Show off your achievements?.

I do not see any special achievements in the fact that you are shown on TV. It's such a job and that's it.. But Daddy, apparently, is pleased. Recently, he was involved in the production process (a man of something texture). Now he knows why the pound is dashing. But also gets high from the process at the same time. Because it's a magical atmosphere, though not easy.

And what interesting things did you hear about yourself?.

Publicity involves an increased interest in your most ordinary and quite life situations. There were. I do not even want to recall these people, the gossip they spread, nor the comments. But there was a funny moment when someone said about me: "Yes, I know her - she's still a bitch! ". Funny - especially for those who know me well.

Everyone who dreams of television, mostly rose-colored glasses. What is it worth to warn these people?.

If a person genuinely dreams about it, nothing will stop him. I'm not a supporter of the fact that television is a special atmosphere, where you have to be with a special character storehouse. This stereotyped perception of the television environment. Healthy competition is present in any office, but unlike television, there is not so interesting to work - there are no emotional bonuses.

What else is important to know: television is a collective work, where we all are its equal parts. You can not light a star on your forehead and consider yourself more important than others: one link will drop out and you will not be worth a penny. And television is a close world, akin to a deck of cards: it is being shuffled and if you've ruined the relationship, after a certain amount of time you can meet with that person on another channel, or simply get yourself a bad name.
