Yulia Volkova and Lena Katina want to get married.
Yulia Volkova and Lena Katina haven't been giving interviews for a year now. Thus, there are lots of reasons to ask them questions. One of the reasons is the release of their new album and another one is all rumours about their private lives. Now, the girls spoke to the reporter of KP and told everything on the subject.
I prefer older men
- Yulia, tell us please, is it difficult for you to be a young mother and a popular singer? How do you manage all that?
- Of course it's hard enough. We lived practically half of a year in America recording our new album "Ludi-Invalidi". I was missing my daughter but this is my carrier. I do it for my daughter's sake too. This thought made it all more bearable! My daughter grew up during this time. She is so cute, so healthy! I can lead her holding her hand now when walking outside.
- Is it hard to stay without support of a man? You are basically a single mother now. There've been rumours that you broke up with the father of your child now.
- I'm not single! I have a new happy love now! I realised that it doesn't work enough serious with too young men for me. As for Pasha (the baby's father), he was there, yes, but it didn't work until the end. It turned out that he's not the one. By the way, he's found someone to be happy with now. I'm very glad he did.
- Can you tell us more about your new hero?
Lena Katina fills in:
- Let me tell you the story! When Yulia met him she changed drastically! I saw her eyes shining! He's a fully grown up man and understands how to deal with Yulia. I see how this person is with her. I'm very happy that my friend found her man! They met for the first time and 15 minutes later they were already kissing.
Yulia:
- I met Tigran in a restaurant. He is a friend of a friend to Lena's parent. We, as they say, fell in love from the first sight. He is an American citizen and he's been living there for 13 years now. He's very kind with my daughter. He helps me to take care of her.
- How are you privately? He's a Caucasian man. Is there any risk he locks you in? You knw this "you are a woman and your place is in the kitchen"?
- Oh no! He is fully supportive and understanding as nobody else could be. He doesn't "lock me in". I get furious when I hear people say that he's a Caucasian and they are all bad. It's up to a person. All people are different. I believe I was lucky to meet Tigran.
Our personal lives go in a similar way
- Lena, tell us please, how's it going for you privately? Haven't you start thinking of becoming a mom yet?
- Of course I would love to! I think about it often enough. I didn't thought of a baby-name though yet. I'm not the kind who plans all things beforehand. If I get pregnant, I'll be only happy then. Me and Yulia got changes in our private lives almost simultaneously, as if we were mysteriously connected as Siamese twins. Last winter I overcame a break up with my boyfriend. I was very sad, angry and simply a nervous wreck. We've been together for two years and when all my illusions vanished I understood that there's no use in planning anything at all. I met my present love later on. We don't make any plans to get married. We let it go as it goes. Unfortunately I can't reveal either his name or his occupation. Let it stay private.
- Tell us gilrs, what kind of wedding would you like to have?
- We both think that it should be a day that will stay in memories for the rest of your life. A beautiful dress, flowers, close friends, luxury environment is a must. A honeymoon trip to an exotic warm country is a nice detail too!
- Who do you think should be the head of a family – a man or should it be equal?
- A strong support is very important. The man should be the head in a family, - says Lena, - a woman is getting married (gets behind the man's back). We could be strong and independent but we always want to feel weak and protected – as if being protected by a solid wall.
- Got it. Has the lesbian theme come to an end?
- People's reactions is really strange, - replies Lena. – If we stay in the same hotel room, share a bed, kiss each other, does it mean that we are lesbians? I love my parents and my friends in the same way! Yulia and me – we still have very tender and good relation, but it doesn't mean that we are lesbians. It's all nonsense!
- Yulia, was it hard to give birth?
- Frankly speaking, it wasn't as hard as they say. It didn't hurt that much. It took me six hours. I did everything myself and didn't suffer any complications. I had a good support from my close relatives, that's why it felt easier.
- Could you assist at birth if needed?
- Sure! I'm not a coward type! There's nothing difficult in it.
- You'll assist me if I give birth during a tour then, laughs Lena Katina.
"Sting is not that sexy"
- His greatness Sting recorded a guitar part on your new album…
- Oh yeah, we know what you are about to ask! No, we didn't meet him. Unfortunately his recording time was set to the date when we were off. We hope to meet him some day!
- Do you think that Sting is sexy? Who generally could be called a sex-symbol?
- (Giggling) Oh, we never even though if he's sexy or not… We don't have idols generally. We don't adore, for example, Johnny Depp or Brad Pitt, even if many are crasy about them.
- Your new album has a title "Ludi-Invalidi" (Disabled People, rem. TatySite.net). If to apply it indirectly, is it possible to cure such people or did you meet people with disabled soul in this life?
- Of course. They are morally disabled people, - relies Lena. – There are lots of such people around us. Such people are led by cruelty, jealousy, they live only for themselves. Thye are not able to love, to feel, to show compassion. Unfortunately, they are many. They can be cured theoretically but they need to want to be cured in the first place.
- You stayed in LA for a long time while you recorded the album. Who or what did you miss as most?
- I missed my daughter, my parents and people close to me. If to speak about the lifestyle, the food is horrible there! Lena likes different soups and can't live without them. She didn't like the fact that she couldn't eat normal food!
- Is America better than Russia?
- Everything is for a person in America and in Russia – nobody knows for whom. It's comfortable and cosy there. People are polite. There are no problems at all. I'm seriously planning to move there in a year – together with my parents and my daughter. Lena will be here and I – there. We are going to meet, to tour, to record. It's enough easy nowadays.
