Interview with Lyanka Gryu. Part II

Now this probably sounds ridiculous, but then you didn't want to take the budget to the fighting, because you don't have a Moscow registration...
I didn't want to take to the budget office, which I entered without anyone's help, because I acted under a different name. I had my mother's surname. (Note ed: the name of the father, the Moldavian actor Gheorghe Grau, Lyanka took later). And no one could even imagine that it's me. Vladimir Grammatikov knew me, but saw only the competition. This was the fundamental point is to enroll in the first year. I decided: if I don't, I'll go to another Institute. But I did. However, the residence was then decided, and I dropped out. Yuri Alaszewski even offered to write me in my apartment, but I refused. We stood in the hallway, and he asked me what I want to do next. I replied: I don't know, but I really want to learn. And then he decided my fate, “did you just come to lectures. Listen, and learn.” And I just went to the Institute — a free listener. Nothing today, no regrets. I have the knowledge I need!

So, you graduated from VGIK?
No, I have no diatoma, because officially all the papers I did not pass. But I spent a lot of time — as auditor, it is even more interesting than the usual student. :-) The lack of a diploma quietly concerned then and am now.

It's not all the difficulties that life has handed you...
You about my first unrequited love? Yes, I was friends with one company, which led nocturnal. And fell in love so that when she came to the next party, began to smell — not hovering in the air, the scent of his perfume. So manic you can love only in adolescence. It all ended rather sadly for me, but... not for him. And I promised myself never to love. Threw herself into work and study.

Maybe it had to happen, then you were made into who you become?
No, I don't think it was vital. Perhaps without this history it would be easier in the future. But this experience helped me — I was different to feel the roles and scenarios in a rather young age. I think the Directors should not shoot the drama, while they themselves are still young, because no experience. Undoubtedly, having such a childhood and youth, I grew up in a hurry. And now I have something to say on the screen. As the hero of Yevgeny Tsyganov in the movie "the Thaw", "All in kopilochku". If I wasn't an actress, the case would be a reason to go to a therapist. Fortunately, I'm an actress, and emotions spill out on the work — in film and theater.

How did mom react?
My mother a very considerate person. Did not ask me about anything in the shower, of course, rooting for me and excited at the same time that it was in the past. Then the life of nachlass me again. With a clean slate.

You long after that was afraid of a new relationship. When you finally understand that you are ready to answer Michael's feelings? (Husband of Lance Grau — Director Michael Weinberg.)
This is the rare case when a courtship it was not because we worked together on the project "Looking for you". Novels on the site were excluded, because it is impeding the work: start to think about something else, you lose focus. And then there is the man who is interesting to me. We begin to make friends, to communicate. The shooting lasted only two weeks, and in that short span of time we became good friends. Talked a lot and realized that all the time were somewhere near. When I shaft the children's program "Tick-tock", Mike worked in the Department of children's and youth programs, doing "under 16 and older"; in the play "Flies" I was playing with Misha's fellow students at GITIS; and Misha knew Oleg Kazantsev, second husband of my mother. All this was, of course, is fine, but when shooting ended, we parted. Two weeks later, I realized that really miss and think about them very often. When he returned, we met in a cafe. I remember saw him at the table, ran toward him, he jumped. We stood, embracing, and since then never parted. Three months later, Misha made me an offer.
