I actually liked not pics only but the interview too! The interview is quite old, so I skipped all the stuff about Russian FS Federartion, his meeting with Putin, etc., the stuff that we already heard many times. I translated only the parts about him and his personality. :plush45:
-------------------------------------------------
I.T.- Are you a sociable person?
E.P.- Yes, I always support the conversation. But mostly I am concentrated on myself. When I am in the middle of training or competition, I feel a huge outburst of emotions, energy and adrenaline. I am completely focused on my work, on myself. I simply don't have any power on doing something else. As the result at the end of the day I sometimes feel empty- I don't want to do anything. Just go to bed and sleep.
I.T.- Zhenya, in your opinion, what does it mean "a strong man"?
E.P. - For example, me- a figure skater Evgeni Plushenko (smile). I think I am a stong man, in life and in sport. When I just started and when I couldn't succeed in everything, my mum always told me that I was strong, I was the best and I would be able to reach all targets. With such a great support I was heading to my goals. I do love to win.
I.T.- You are always so serious, you don't smile enough.
E.P. Me? But if I smile all the time, people will think I am an idiot. I find it strange when people smile with no reasons. I like good jokes and laugh, if they are on topic.
I.T.- I heard you are very emotional but yet you do manage to control yourself. Would you share your secret?
E.P.- When something is going wrong at training, I scream at myself. I always do my best to be perfect at skating. The Free Program is only 4 minutes 40 seconds. During this time I have to perform a lot of elements and they must be clean. I do need super-concentration and super-attention. I still can't stop thinking what a difficult sport FS is. There is no room for mistakes.
I.T.- But the same can be said about any other sport...
E.P.- Yeah, but in game sport like football even if you miss the score, you still have a chance to score back. But in FS there is no such a thing as the second chance.
I.T. - What' sthe difference between Plushenko on ice and Plushenko off ice?
E.P.- There is no difference. My life is FS. I am the same person on ice and off ice. I don't do such a thing as "Now I will finish my program, take off my mask and go home."
I.T.- Is there such a thing as "the perfect sportsman"?
E.P. Definitely, no. Because even a very strong person can lose.
I.T. - I heard you want to act in a movie. What part would you like to be?
E.P.- The leading one (laugh). It could be a historical film or an action.
