If you don't know how great this country is, I know someone who does; Russia.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Russia is an amazing country to be an entrepreneur.
Russians aren't perfect. Their politics are messed up, and they keep going through self-defeating economic cycles. But I have a lot of respect for Russia, and a lot of love for Russians.
From the country with limited hope to grow your own business and express your own personality, Russia has become the land of significant opportunity.
I think very poorly of United Russia. United Russia is the party of corruption, the party of crooks and thieves. And it is the duty of every patriot and citizen of our country to make sure that this party is destroyed.
Russia can be quite a dangerous place sometimes, but I never think about it.
I was friends with Russians who said I should see Russia. I went there in '93 and it was so exciting, and I went to Siberia and had a great time.
Russia is very big and very varied. People are different in different regions.
If I still lived in Russia, I'd be dead... or a really effective oligarch.
I'm not talking about Russia in my music. I've never been to Russia. I'm not talking about Africa, Switzerland, China. I'm talking about me being American and growing up in a crazy world and helping to reflect all different sides of life.
I don't have any opinions about Russians. There are celebrity persons in each country. Different people do different things.
