We got to know him only 2 years पूर्व – after his victory in the ESC 2009. Since then Alexander Rybak hasn’t been लॉस्ट among countless European pop-artists and has become one of the most लोकप्रिय artists in Europe. Of course, he is loved especially in CIS countries. It’s understandable, because Alexander is Belorussian originally although he represented Norway in the famous song contest. Moreover the musician isn’t tired to repeat in his interviews that he considers himself Russian in the soul.
The Eurovision Song Contest 2011, ended several months ago, also couldn’t take place without Alexander participation. At that time he tried a new role of the host and reporter for Norwegian TV. And one दिन before his trip to Dusseldorf he found the time to answer to our सवालों – about attention of girls, his first earned money and contents of his luggage.
- Alexander, could आप tell us how आप changed from the moment when आप won in that memorable ESC?
- My attitude to the things around me changed. I became self-disciplined. Now I know better how and where to direct my energy. Then I became और selective, because I understand that it’s impossible to be in the different parts of युरोप in one दिन (Laughs. – टिप्पणी दे of author). But managers think this is possible and invite me to the concerts. I thank them for it, but now my managers try to make my schedule logical and not overload.
- What’s your dream? What do आप tend to?
- Now I want many things to do. Firstly I’m going to finish conservatory. I’m classical violinist, and it’s very important for me to have this education, diploma. Before the ESC I have only 1 साल in conservatory left… But then everything started… Finally it’s needed to finish (Smiles. – टिप्पणी दे of author). Other plans are new albums, musicals…
- Could आप share your last bright impression?
- I suppose the brightest impression was my first for 2.5 years vacation! I have been in America, Los Angeles for 2 weeks. What a wonderful trip! Wow, I’ve seen so many sights, have been in several amusement parks! Unforgettable!
Also I remember when a साल पूर्व I had 1 दिन off after 3 months of daily concerts and minutely mapped out days. I had been playing computer games the whole दिन (Smiles – टिप्पणी दे of the author).
- Probably such a tight schedule is the most difficult thing in artist’s life, isn’t it?
- आप know, it depends on artist. If this is an artist who works all the time, goes on tour, the most important for him is to keep his emotions, direct and spread his energy correctly. For example, when I’m angry, it should stay inside me. आप mustn’t दिखाना your problems to the audience.
- What if the most pleasant thing then?
- I will not deny that it brings a great pleasure that people know your creation and you, that they sing along on the concerts, smile at आप when they accidentally meet आप on the street. It’s inspiring.
- Without what thing आप can’t imagine your life?
- Without संगीत and the violin. And beside this without diversity. I’m so used that something interesting always happens to me, that I visit different places, get acquainted with a lot of people, so I can’t imagine my life without it no more.
- And certainly without female attention too? आप once कहा in an interview that आप like to flirt with girls. What is your special way to win over the girl during a conversation, to please her?
- Well, It depends. If I am interested in a girl, always something specific in her does attract me first. For example, what does she enjoy, what does she do… then we talk about it. This is a very good way – to talk about what she is interested. Even not to talk so much, but to listen to her. (Laughs - टिप्पणी दे of the author)
- They say that women are an enigma. And how would आप define – what is a woman?
- A woman is the very best friend. Of course only if आप are devoted to her and trust her and she feels it in turn. Women are like wild horses… Sorry if this comparison seems harsh to you, I put in it the most positive perception! That is to say they are inaccessible, आप need to tame them, to conquer them… But the main thing is that women strive to tame us too, and the sooner a man will understand this the easier it will be to him.
- Many girls just lose their heads because of you, and because of what can आप lose your head?
- Well, how – because of girls! (Smiles - टिप्पणी दे of the author)
- Do आप remember how did आप earn your first money? How old were आप then?
- Yes, I remember it very clearly. I was 8 years old. I passed children’s exam with the “excellent” mark and my mother gave me money for it, as motivation.
- And what did आप spend it for?
- For the candy.
- If little Sasha Rybak saw today’s Alexander Rybak, what would he think?
- I am glad that there won’t be such situation, because in that case I would have दिया up the violin and did only pop music, but it would be quite wrong.
- As a child were आप a ringleader या a modest one?
- As a child I was a clown, I made everybody laugh. My teacher at once suspected that I would become an artist. I always tried to draw attention to myself. But now it’s vice versa – I want less attention.
- Many famous musicians expand their activities to becoming actors, designers, restaurateurs. आप already have an experience of giving your voice to a character of animated movie (Alexander voiced the protagonist in a Norwegian version of the cartoon “How to Train Your Dragon” in 2010), but maybe you’re preparing something else unusual?
- In fact, all my activity in one या another way is connected with music. I already acted in a movie. (Alexander talks about the Norwegian film “Johan-wanderer” in 2010, in which he played a gypsy Levi - टिप्पणी दे of the author) Now I would gladly acted as an actor in a musical. I also want to come out as a composer of the great musical.
- What do आप like to visit better: restaurants, bars या clubs?
- I like restaurants when I’m with one person. And in general of course it’s much better in the club than in the bar because usually there is very loud संगीत in the bars but आप have no possibility to dance, and although in क्लब्स a संगीत is loud but आप can dance there.
- आप once कहा that आप almost don’t drink. Is it connected with your intention to a healthy lifestyle या there is some other reason? And if आप drink alcohol, what do आप choose?
- The fact is that I do not like alcohol in principle. I can drink something but very rarely – some soft drinks, wine या Martini, for example.
- How did the content of your luggage changed from the days when आप just started to tour until now?
- Now it got much easier. Earlier I used to take with me all my pants, all shirts. And now I understand that on my trip I can buy everything I need. In addition gifts can be दिया to me. (Smiles – टिप्पणी दे of the author) Now I carry with me a light half-empty bag, one can say half of the original luggage.
- This सवाल is often asked द्वारा employers in job interviews: How do आप see yourself in 5 and 10 years?
- Happy and experienced. And what else do आप need from life?
- How would आप have continue the sentence: “Alexander Rybak is a person who…?”
- …knows how to live without bounderies and how to पार करना, क्रॉस the boundary! Something like this.
- लोकप्रिय wisdom says: “A happiness doesn’t lie in money.” And what is happiness for you?
- Not in money – that’s for sure. I think happiness is when people understand you, and आप understand people. Understanding – that’s real happiness. We miss it so often unfortunately. Therefore a lot of problems arise, both at the household level and और global.
- Speaking of global, did आप ever want to change the world?
- I want to change only the संगीत world. I would really like to दिखाना people that it is possible to combine completely different genres.
- What is the most absurd gossip आप heard about yourself?
- I do not like when people say that I try all the time to record duets with various artists, but I can’t manage it. I do not want to do it at all. I do not like when people gossip that everybody deny me to record such duets while I even don’t do such proposals to anyone. My life is much और quiet than people think.
- How would आप like to be remembered द्वारा people?
- I would like to be remembered as a man who did not incommode anyone.
