Russian Quotes

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 Picture Quote #1

Bolshoi Babylon is the work of filmmakers Mark Franchetti and Nicholas Read. Franchetti has been a Moscow-based journalist for 18 years.

Of all the games I’ve done, the only time I’ve ever lost my voice was on ‘Call Of Duty 2,’ playing a rasping Russian captain on the Stalingrad level Picture Quote #1

My father, a Russian translator, wanted to distinguish me by calling me Misha, the Russian diminutive of his name, Michael. My name and work as a writer specialising in the Balkans has created a myth that I have Slavic connections, but actually I am British Picture Quote #1

Stop tryin to be loud as me, cause you can’t do that, Think about it...playing Russian roulette with an automatic! Picture Quote #1

I give my grandfather, Dr Harold Young, a forestry Professor at the University of Maine, full credit for my career path. He pioneered the use of aerial photography in forestry in the 1950s, and we think he worked as a spy for the CIA during the Cold War, mapping Russian installations Picture Quote #1

Samuel Marshak was one of the founders of modern Russian children’s literature. Soviet children used to know his poems by heart, but only since glasnost have American editors shown any interest in issuing his poems here Picture Quote #1

The Communist Party is very popular in South Africa, especially among the young people. Never having had a chance to travel, and having suffered so much under capitalism, they still can’t believe that the Russian people themselves have rejected it Picture Quote #1

In the early days of the Russian Revolution in 1917, I was completely in sympathy with it. I felt that it established a new era in the history of the modern world. I was so overwhelmed by it that, if people made any unfriendly comment, I would vigorously defend it. If people condemned the Communist party, I would speak in its defense Picture Quote #1

In a literal sense, even a private company, of course, cannot do everything that it wants without some discussion with government. As a good corporate citizen, Severstal discussed the idea of a merger with Arcelor with the Russian government Picture Quote #1

I love the dancers in the Bolshoi, but all of my Moscow friends are outside the company. A friend introduced me to Vika Gazinskaya, a well-known Russian designer. I met her group. The rest is history Picture Quote #1

In the Russian experience, although the Russian state is oppressive, it is their state, it is part of their fabric, and so the relation between Russian citizens and their state is complicated Picture Quote #1

My intention still is to write a play to commemorate, possibly rather skeptically, the 50th anniversary of the Russian revolution. I started it at the beginning of 1966, but confronted with the enormous importance and reality of that revolution, I absolutely boggle. I don’t know what to do about it Picture Quote #1

Much of what happens in Love Always is really from overheard conversations in the Russian Tea Room. It’s an improvisation of the way certain Hollywood agents think and talk to each other Picture Quote #1

The whole world recognizes Russia’s cultural achievements. It is impossible to imagine the world culture without Russian culture, without our music and literature Picture Quote #1

So an autobiography about death should include, in my case, an account of European Jewry and of Russian and Jewish events - pogroms and flights and murders and the revolution that drove my mother to come here Picture Quote #1

I took a 19th-century Russian novel class in college and have been smitten with Russian literature ever since. Writers like Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Grossman, and Solzhenitsyn tackle the great questions of morality, politics, love, and death Picture Quote #1

I came to Los Angeles only after filming ‘A Good Day to Die Hard,’ when I was cast in the independent movie ‘Delirium.’ Director Lee Roy Kunz was looking everywhere for a Russian actress. He saw my photos, and only then he learned where I starred before! Eventually, I spent several months in the U.S., and we made the film quickly Picture Quote #1

Next year [2017], we are going to hold a series of events there that we would like to call Russian Seasons [in Japan]. Over 40 different activities - and what is more, in different cities Picture Quote #1

When I first started working, I was very aware of the fact that I’d been to university and studied Russian and French and not acting. So when I started working, I’d started working quite young, I felt like it was important to treat myself kind of like an apprentice and do as many different types of things as I could Picture Quote #1

Rose: If you’d teach me to swear in Russian, I might have a new appreciation for it.Dimitri: You swear too much already.Rose: I just want to express myself.Dimitri: Oh, RozaÂ¦ You express yourself more than anyone else I know.- Rose Hathaway and Dimitri Belikov (Frostbite) Picture Quote #1

One of the conventions that I always liked was Doctor Zhivago, where everything that’s written on the screen is in Russian but everyone speaks English. That seemed to me to be quite a good convention to follow Picture Quote #1

We should be I hope finally realizing what Vladimir Putin is. He’s an old colonel, KGB, apparatchik, and he dreams of the restoration of the Russian empire Picture Quote #1

Vladimir Putin is a Russian czar. He’s kind of a mix of Peter the Great and Stalin. He’s got both in his veins. And he looks out first and foremost for the national security interests of Russia. He accepts that, in Eastern Europe, that is a Russian backyard, that is a Russian sphere of influence. Ukraine lives most uncomfortably and unhappily in a Russian backyard Picture Quote #1

In terms of the Eastern Europe stories, my family is originally from there; even as a kid, it was the Russian writers I loved most, and I’ve spent a substantial amount of time there myself, traveling and on research grants Picture Quote #1

I am the byproduct of an Ellis Island orgy, basically. I’m everything. I’ve got quite a mixture in me. I know a lot of it and I don’t know some of it. I’m pretty mixed up, but mostly Russian and Irish Picture Quote #1

Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, my wife speaks five languages: Russian, English, French, Italian and, out of self-defense, Spanish. I watched her learn Spanish in three months Picture Quote #1

The United States and Russian security services regularly exchange information Picture Quote #1

I know a few expressions. I know what Hilary Clinton basically says in Russian when you translate her into Russian over and over and over is, ‘izvinite pozhaluista.’ That’s, ‘excuse me please, excuse me please.’ Let’s reset things. That’s not the way you deal with folks. You show strength if you made a mistake Picture Quote #1
