Highlights from Lena Katina’s Interview on Russian Radio MoldovaWill we here something new at the concert?No, because songs are being finished now. I am releasing a new single very soon in English and in Russian. It is very, very soon. The artwork is ready and it will be out soon.What are you ready to do to achieve success?I will never betray anyone. I love the people I work with and would never betray them. I think to achieve success you need to work a lot, to believe in yourself, and to believe in your team.How much time does work take up?Every week I have tours, plus time in the studio, shoots, e-mails - it’s my project so all the organizational things go through me, all the discussions and decisions.Did having a child affect your creative process?I was actively writing before the birth, but have not sat down to write after the birth. I have only recorded.How often do you spend time with your child?All the time. I don not have a nanny, I am against it. I was with him for the first 9 months without leaving, then began touring and his dad took over as well as his grandmothers. I try not to be away for more than 2 or 3 days.Tell us about your first kiss.I was 14 years old and it was my best friend’s cousin…it was at my house.What has been the most memorable place where you performed?During t.A.T.u. the most memorable ones were at at the Wembley Arena in England for Trevor Horn’s anniversary…and in Japan. Japan is a whole different world, I love that country and the people, I like everything there. I love their food. I have a name of a restaurant written in Japanese in my wallet…I go to it every time I am in Japan, I show the driver and ask him to take me there.In my solo career…the recent tour in Israel - we had two concerts and they were hard physically on me - we flew in early in the morning and had two concerts in one day. We also went to Jerusalem the next day. It was not enough time for me, I was ready to continue sitting there and absorb the energy and environment.Is there a memorable person from a concert? People running up on stage, throwing something?In my solo career there have not been such instances…During t.A.T.u. there were all sorts of things - we have had bottles thrown at us, tomatoes, especially during Malchik Gay. We had a concert on stage, which we stopped, and a person walked out on stage with a knife. One time my skirt got stolen - we used to change on stage during a concert and take off our skirts.Are you happy now and what else would you want in life?Happiness is an internal understanding, it is here and now. It is hard to attach it to something. I am happy just to be alive. I wake up and say that I should be thankful for what I have. If you want something more, then you can’t just dream, but have to do something to get it. I want to release an EP album soon, I want to tour, I want another child.Is there a chance that Lena will change her hair color to brown?I tried dyeing my hair darker, but I did not like it…I like how I am.Do you have any rituals before performances?I walk around like a tiger in a cage. I get very nervous, my knees shake still. I worry a lot. I do have a ritual - I drink 50 grams of cognac, chase it with a spoonful of honey, drink tea and water, and I go on stage while reading a prayer. -- source link
