I completely admire my mother for raising a child with cerebral palsy at home.

As a child I really didn't like men at all, in fact.

When you become a mother, you think less about yourself and care more about the world.

I was born in Nizhny Novgorod to a very poor family and unfortunately my father and mother separated when I was very little.

I raised my sister. I was six when she was born. My mother had to make a living for herself and it was very hard, so I was looking after my sister, cooking and cleaning, and she had four jobs.

Being a child at home alone in the summer is a high-risk occupation. If you call your mother at work thirteen times an hour, she can hurt you.
