Dear Bob,
I think that being a famous actor is very hard and responsible at the same time. Just imagine a lot of people looking at you when you are playing the role of Hamlet on the stage, for example. On the one hand, I like watching TV programs and films, but as for theatre I think that not so many people can understand this kind of art. Probably, this is the reason, why I have been to the theatre only twice with my parents. Those were the best days of my life though))). But on the other hand I find it very boring to sit for an hour or more on the chair looking at a couple of actors. There are a lot of things I would like to do much more, than this. I like playing computer games, riding a bicycle and eating pizza, which is my favorite food. Obviously, if you go to the theatre with your friends, anything can be wonderful. Well, thank you for writing and sharing your thoughts, anyway.
Keep in touch.
Best wishes,
Dima
