“In American films, Russians are often portrayed like cartoon villains ...” — Yuliya Snigir Quote

In American films, Russians are often portrayed like cartoon villains without clear motivations.

I'm learning to be braver with colorful clothes, even if they're a little wild.

In chess, you should be as cool as a cucumber.

For me, it's very offensive when I notice that it's all about my appearance, how I look, that a man doesn't care who I am.

Thank God, I have sort of a pan-European accent rather than Russian, which doesn't sound very pleasantly to Americans. For them, we speak with a rather rude pitch, and that might be our actors' problem there. Now I've begun working with language coaches in Los Angeles to get rid of the accent completely.

As a child, I think everybody imitates their favorite cartoon character in some form or another when they're playing.

What does it say about a president's policies when he has to use a cartoon character rather than real people to justify his record? What does it say about the fiction of old liberalism to insist that good jobs and good schools and good wages will result from policies that have failed us, time and again?

'Rugrats' was my favorite cartoon growing up as a kid.

I met Mike Judge when I was working on my own cartoon for MTV; it did not air. But I got on with Mike and then did a few voices on 'Beavis and Butt-Head' because of it.
