Если бы я был моложе, я бы больше играл. К сожалению, сейчас невозможно найти роль на мое амплуа. Да я бы и не стал играть то, что сейчас ставят. Жаль, что современные авторы совсем не умеют писать. Вы бы поразились, если бы услышали, какие пьесы у них хватает наглости ставить. На месте Министерства культуры я бы давно всех их уволил и дал дорогу молодым талантам. А если пьеса плоха, ее никакая игра не спасет. Возможно, все дело в том, что и публика перестала по-настоящему интересоваться театром. Может быть, если бы люди ходили в театр так же часто, как ходят в кино, все бы было не так печально. Если бы вы подошли к театру всего лишь десять лет назад, вы увидели бы длинные очереди у кассы перед премьерой. А сегодня мы были бы счастливы, если бы хотя бы половина мест зала была выкуплена.

If the Disney studio didn’t take a young and unknown illustrator and animator we wouldn’t have had the famous Tim Burton now. The studioes wished they had notice him long before for his full lengthed debut with the low-budget “Peewee’s Big Adventure” became a surprise blockbaster. If Burton’s remarkable style were not so popular in public, studios won’t trust him with such large budjets. The list of his beautifully designed and highly stylized films including "Batman," "Edward Scissorhands," "Beetlejuice," "Big

Fish," "Sleepy Hollow," and "Ed Wood" wouldn’t have been complete without the world famous cartons “Corpse Bride” and “Nightmare before Christmas”. You may wish his psyche wouldn’t be so much influenced by old horror films.

But without it we would have quite a different Burton.

Most nations continue to live as nothing had thretened their habitat. Moreover, they exist as the number of environmental problems increased dangerously. Scientists warn that one of the most serious problems would be changes to the atmosphere, which has led to the Greenhouse effect. The greens insist that cutting down on exhaust fumes from vehicles would help solve the problem. Have been people aware of ecological problems, we were able to drive cars in cities and towns that run on electricity – a much cleaner fuel than petrol. I wish we, as individuals, hadn’t started to do something long ago. It is important we would also help to reserve finite recources by recycling things made of glass, aluminium, plastic and paper.
