Ivan Yankovsky gave Kinopoisk a lengthy interview where he talked about his career, son Oleg and childhood memories.
about acting
“In the profession, it is important to be a vessel that fills easily and dispenses just as easily. Sometimes you get stuck, the material, the role, the shot, the director put pressure on you – that’s all, you can’t sacrifice anything. Nobody gives 100 percent, not even a master like De Niro. It’s not realistic for a hundred people to do everything I want. If you can give 90, 87, 70, that’s fine anyway.”
about the futureM
“Am I matured to manage myself? I don’t know. I have a lot of roles to play, I enjoy them very much and I’m happy with the way things are going in my life so far. I treat it like a river. What is the beauty of our work? You never know what works and what doesn’t. It’s all a test, an experiment, a journey with no destination, Columbus and the discovery of America. You can sail but you can’t go – I take this easily and freely.
about his son
“As a father, I started thinking about children’s movies. I realized that I have nothing to show my child more than mine! My son is still young and is watching Three Cats and I am watching with him. I’ve seen all the seasons, I’m immersed in it, so I’m ready to sit down with the kids and discuss this cartoon and I’ll understand what it’s about. I would actually play one of the cats in a feature version!
about childhood
“I love watching movies, I’ve grown so much – I’ve watched everything since childhood. I also caught a glimpse when they sold The Mummy with Brendan Fraser or Star Wars with Liam Neeson on Gorbushka on VHS. My dad and I went after them, he said to them “rags”: “Now we’re going to get the “rags”. That was their quality. I remember that I was forbidden to watch “Predator” with Schwarzenegger because it was too bloody. A friend of mine in kindergarten gave me a tape, but my mother took it and hid. The only chance to see it was when the parents were asleep. And so I woke up at 5 am, found this tape, placed it on the video recorder and watched it silently. Of course, fool yourself – some bullshit tricks people with some kind of knife! It could be a childhood trauma in general, but a culture of forbidden viewing emerged.
