Most misfortunes happen because of the money - war, violence and disorder. That - minus. But without them, too, can not. Money rules the world. All Money
resulted in the movement.

TB: A realization of your own desires depends on the money?
AM: Not always. There are such desires, when money did not have special meaning. And as for my work, compared with what was in Soviet times, everything that I do now, is directly linked to
money.

TB: But if something very much like, but there is no money for it, maybe it's because the desire is not so much?
AM: If you have a desire to immerse themselves in a certain depth in the vicinity of the Hawaiian Islands, but you do not have money, how are you there okazheshsya? You can, of course, by Andrei Makarevich appeal, saying: "Andryush, well I have no money, take me with them." It is - a good soul can and will. Well, so do not need nobody. It hurts to watch how some people just ends meet, while others buy a football team and the success is not blowing.

TB: Then what is the difference between rich and poor? Maybe the rich think and act for any particular law?
AM: Successful people are not necessarily rich, but just talented - musicians, artists, athletes --
they made a lot of effort to become those whom they wanted to become. And there are inert, which lie on the couch and think: "What I do not believe it?" Do not want to go anywhere. They are not something that did not want to be rich, they do not want - such a lot of people I know. Therefore, everything depends on the person of his temperament, his focus.

TB: You have often experienced negative emotions of insecurity in life?
AM: Yes, when I was 5 cents on the subway, it was certainly unpleasant, but it was in his youth,
therefore, it was once on the drum "- all the way to live. And when I was already a famous man, and I had to ride the subway, thrust cap over his eyes and putting on glasses is, of course, very much strain.

TB: And when you have your first money earned?

but it just did not fell from the chair because she was in itself almost the same salary. That is, for the boy 13 to 14 years it was a lot of money.

TB: What to spend money in the first place?
AM: First of all, the basic necessities - food, education son medical care.

TB: Who should keep a family - a man or a woman?
AM: I believe that man. While looking at what ways you are a woman. I had time - I lived with a woman, she earned more than me. And it may do good has not resulted. With the slightest fault on my part, it puts me in reproach. But everything is very individual. I have a friend in New York, he became a higher education, but he was not able to find a job and at one time worked as taxi driver. He met (and now found) with a woman who earns $ 10,000 - for America, very decent. And now it does not work, because his woman suggested that he seek a normal job and not screw wheel. And this pair of such relations, it is arranged it - he is quietly searching for a job and live on her money.

TB: It was something that you wanted me to buy, but for a long period of time could not allow?
AM: I need a guitar, buy it, I was not able to because it cost mad money, I gnawed itself elbows, but beyond that it was not because it was impossible to make - I did not want to gamble, go to the crime too. Though I have worked at 2 jobs, still has not received money. In the end, I went to my mother and grandmother, and they, along with relatives skinulis and bought me a guitar.

TB: What other purchases you have done yourself?
AM: Yes, everything else I had bought for their money. For example, the first car. When the tool, I began to play in groups, restaurants, tours, that is already earning enough money to live, or what does not deny.

TB: At the warehouse of you who find themselves - just a creative person or business streak in you too?
AM: First of all, I am, of course, a person creative. The only, what, maybe, is my efficiency, so that I have a group of 5 people who travel with me on tour. I feel their responsibility for the fact that all the same to pay their salaries. There are moments when I need to go to the shooting, but they were at this time sitting out of work - and I am still paying the money, as little, of course, but that they have the means of subsistence.

TB: What is your understanding of "love money"?
AM: I have never experienced such feelings. I have a peculiar relationship to money. Of course, I rejoice when I have, but I do not have this, so I tryassya directly over them, not sleeping at night, trying to earn more and more, put "stockings." Even if I will not, I, of course, begin to do something, trying to get them, but to shake over every penny I can not.

TB: The fear of losing money?
AM: I have a fear only for my loved ones: that happened to me, and they will lose their livelihoods. Therefore, while I am all right, you need to do some groundwork to put his son on his feet, to give him the education that in any case, my family feel safe.

TB: Can you save money?
AM: Before, no, I have to postpone fails. But now there are banks - I am there and keep the money. So something like the savings.

TB: And you tried to engage in business or invest in any company?
AM: I have come to their friends in office, I want to sleep, I can not I sit all day in four
walls! But that is where to invest their money, I am thinking. When will I be a sufficient sum to invest in the business, I probably will do it.

TB: Where do I attach it?
AM: Do not know. I have many wealthy friends, they offered me different options, but I still think so. However, this seems to be a business that I could somehow control it.

TB: And the market does not try to play?
AM: None. I do not understand this. And I am a person that if something does not understand, and understanding in this matter, I will be hard, I better just not going to do it.

TB: That is, the market you're associated with something difficult and confusing?
AM: You can, of course, if you want the process to master, but I'm not interested.

TB: What do you think, when playing on the stock exchange that it was more important - the logic or intuition?
AM: I think that intuition. A logic appears when you thoroughly know the subject, trying to deal with. Then you receive the experience and intuition based on experience. Therefore, all you need to deal not carelessly, but thoroughly.

TB: You - amateur gamblers?
AM: With the wife at home playing backgammon.

TB: On the money?
AM: No, simply because I love this game. Still love to play cards in good company. But casinos do not like. I have no luck there permanently. I "prosazhivayu" all the money and leave.

TB: Quickly delivered?
AM: What to do if there is no money? I tried to play several times in Las Vegas and we have - the result is the same. Besides, I do not zavozhus, unlike many people who are both part of the excitement that the game until not lose everything.

TB: If you do not "plant", then what then play?
AM: Sometimes for the company. In Las Vegas, for example, I have been a few times - and one with friends. I showed them how to play, and he went to the pool. Out of the pool - they play, and went to sleep - play, wake up - they all play. But I am also not aware and thought: "I have that there, too, to play?" He began to play - once, lost $ 400. I find it just became uninteresting, and friends all play on.

TB: Do you think the higher the human self, the more money he earns?
AM: Not always. Many people are very smart and educated, climb out of the skin to make money, but they did not get. So, they do not need it. So, there, upstairs knows that something is what they do not know, and know they are not expected. Maybe to make money, then they let them into something that, as even afraid to think.

TB: What do you say about the money the parents?
AM: you can not steal - that I remember from childhood. Mom, I was not working, and my father worked for two. I understand that the father earns money with labor. And if I want, I bought, for example, a bicycle, you can not just go and bleat, one must somehow deserve it, because my father was a pilot 1-grade, and the money it is very difficult to reach. So I tried to behave normally, the parents are not upset.

TB: Money spoil people?
AM: It depends on the person, what environment he grew up. I have many friends, the owners of large companies, where the money was not to spoil. They were people, with good, responsive, make good business.

TB: Do you have some kind of formula for their own wealth and prosperity?
AM: It is hard to say, I'm not a businessman and not so successful. But in any case, you must persevere and work, have you're doing something and never turn to the road.

TB: How do you feel about the "American dream": Transformation of a beggar in a millionaire?
AM: That is how to dream. I personally do not know of such examples. I think if people focused and rebellious in this respect, he can no longer be poor. Such people are usually a lot of work, have some money, just yet earn little. And then - gained, won, something is invented, discovered - this is their business and went. I have this attitude is positive, but I have no such veins. One of my friend with the "zero" began to build a great building, opened a shop. Borrow money under the great interest the first time progorel, then rose again. In its place I do not know how I did.

TB: Our readers would like to wish that something?
AM: Live honestly, enjoy life, smiles often, and do good.

TB: And you want more money?
AM: If you do good, you will be all right: and money, and peace of mind. Money - this is not an end in itself. But they strive to earn, of course, you'll need: Then Rock out, finally, from the sofa and do something!
