00:00What do you think about the character?

00:05There are those who have the spirit, the spirit, the character.

00:11Without the character there is no need to do this.

00:24We are considered universal actors.

00:27We work in historical films and in modern films.

00:30We work in modern comics and in modern comics.

00:35We are on tracks.

00:37We are burning.

00:39We are swimming.

00:40We are swimming.

00:41We are doing everything.

00:45Nobody agrees with such a job.

00:47I was very scared of our ideas.

00:49It was not mine.

00:51I said yes.

00:53Probably two weeks ago.

00:55I left work.

00:57But I always have a fear.

00:59I always worry.

01:01By doing one and the same trick for 10 years,

01:04I always sit on a horse and worry.

01:06I am only in fights.

01:08And then I have a opponent,

01:10who also can...

01:12In general,

01:13in every film,

01:14in the cinema or in the circus,

01:16on a horse or on a horse.

01:18In any case,

01:19in any case,

01:20I have excitement,

01:21feelings.

01:22What do you think is the passion?

01:27The international expreses

01:29are mostly concerned about modern and

01:33horsemen.

01:34We are also modern and horsemen,

01:36so they often invite us to historical.

01:39From historical stories I worked in Pittsburgh,

01:42Netflix in Prague,

01:45and HBO in Africa.

01:49It was all historical projects.

01:51And everywhere, кроме HBO, there were horses.

01:55And I was challenged by the way that I was on horses.

02:01For all my career I had a lot of projects.

02:05I can't even name any numbers now.

02:07Here is Almas Closch, Jaujurik Mambala, Tamiris.

02:15There was a lot of projects.

02:19But there was a lot of projects.

02:25I worked on Netflix.

02:27I went to casting for them.

02:29It was the first casting for me as a sailor.

02:32I was on a horse and felt like I was already on my table.

02:37I began to show my tricks.

02:39I began to show my journey, my experience.

02:43They were, as they told me, in shock.

02:47They applauded and said, wow.

02:49And they immediately gave me the answer, that I would come to their project.

02:52What do you think is your role in Kazakhstan?

02:56Actually, in Kazakhstan, there is a lot of difference between people who are not in the profession.

03:03That it is a work that is not suitable for women.

03:06This work is not suitable for women.

03:07So, for example, my parents are considered as a sailor.

03:10It is a work that is not for women.

03:14It is a hard work, a hard work.

03:16I think that there is no difference.

03:18In action scene, for example, if the main heroine is a woman, and she does drugs and tricks,

03:24she will not be a man.

03:26She will be a woman.

03:28She will be a woman.

03:30So, it is a female profession.

03:33It is not a woman.

03:35Now, we have five girls.

03:37From all the staff, who work on the playgrounds, who work on horses, in modern fights,

03:44we have only five people.

03:46How many women will be?

03:48Well, yes.

03:49Because even now, women, women, 20-18 years, who would like to be a sailor.

03:59Who can not stop or go the hard path, they are not able to get out.

04:04Those who have the spirit and the spirit.

04:08This character.

04:09Without this character, there is nothing.

04:12I have some problems, which I got in work.

04:16I still have them.

04:19I am constantly working.

04:20I have a course of treatment every half of the year.

04:23But these traumas will remain with me until the end.

04:26Because, if you have an operation, you will not make an operation.

04:30With this trauma, you will not make an operation.

04:31With this time, you just have to live.

04:33And sometimes, when you have something that hurts,

04:36very difficult shots, you are tired.

04:38You just come home and you think,

04:40if you choose something different, if you have a chance.

04:44Or, if you have a choice, knowing all this, all the way back.

04:48Then, yes.

04:49I would choose.

04:51Because, as I said, it's a passion to work.

04:56Toeline.

05:00If we can make...

05:01To my self-defense.

05:02Is it certainly on the end of practice?

05:03Yes.

05:07To my self-defense.

05:08The anything first at that timeatorium

05:11Is it always gonna happen?

05:13Yes.

05:14Do you have faith?

05:15Do you know?

05:17Yes.

05:19удар이에요.
