I just want to say that 20 years ago, I was shooting a film, and a very beautiful girl was working there. And her job was to come out of the swimming pool, my sister was there, and she had to come to me and say a dialogue. So, till she came out of the swimming pool and came here, everything was very correct. When she came to me, she got so nervous that her lips started shaking, and she started twitching. And the same beautiful girl suddenly looked not so beautiful. That was the day and that was the moment I decided I will open an acting school.”
