I definitely feel Russian inside, even when I'm in America I feel Russian.

It's funny because I'm so used to acting in English that any time I have these moments where I have to speak Russian, it definitely takes a different part of my brain to pull it off, but it's always nice and fun.

I definitely feel Russian. I feel Russian, but at the same time when I'm in the States I feel at home, too.

I am a Slavic musician and it is deeply inside of me.

Russian is such a tough and complex language that I am happy enough to understand everything and read most things pretty well, but, without constant practice, my speech is not what I wish it was, and I would sooner write in crayon than write a letter in Russian.

I think foreign countries really do like it when American artists sing in their language. And when you go over there and say, 'Hi, how are you?' in their language, they love it. It makes them feel like you're doing it just for them. We in America take so much for granted.

I think it keeps your brain moving faster, singing in another language.

I'm rarely singing in English.

It feels good to sing. Everybody should sing!
