It%u2019s the basic structure to the core of any ballet dancer. That%u2019s where we all started, and sometimes we all need to go back to the beginning.MFM: Your favorite healthy dinner to cook at home?NB: I%u2019m not a big cook, as I usually don%u2019t have time to cook. I prefer trying different restaurants, but the times I do cook, I eat a lot of vegetables, salads, and potatoes which I just steam or boil. My favorite vegetables are beets; I%u2019ll usually add them to a salad with some chicken. It%u2019s a great dinner option.MFM: Quirky favorite hobbies outside of dance and acting?NB: I collect sunglasses and strange earrings! I have over 200 hundred pairs of each. A lot of them are cheap ones you find from street vendors. I don%u2019t know what it is, but I just have to have them! I love fashion, and I always find different things I could come up with in terms of style and designing. I usually wear one earring that makes some kind of a statement. MFM: You have a charity for environmental awareness-how did you get interested in that topic? Tell our readers what is one thing everyone should be aware of right now in thinking about the environment?NB: It%u2019s an organization that I decided to create while I was putting together my ballet %u2018Stella%u2019 for the Kremlin Palace in Moscow. Unesco approached me to collaborate as a choreographer and to compose music using the sounds from NASA, which they used to get in touch with life in space. The story is about how mankind has been destroying the earth by not properly taking care of it and abusing its natural resources, until ultimately the world comes to an end because of this carelessness. I was inspired to create this story from seeing what has been happening to the earth in my lifetime. I think our biggest issue with the environment right now, is us. We all need to do our part together to make sure we take care of our home, by being aware of our waste and unnecessary use of resources. I believe hunting animals should not be allowed, especially the white Bengal and Siberian tigers and other animals that are nearly becoming extinct. Some of which unfortunately already are extinct like the Tasmanian tiger, which wasn%u2019t really a tiger!MFM: Future plans for your own production company? What else are you personally working on right now?NB: Last year I did a lot of horror and action films, and this year I would like to focus more on dramas and thrillers with bigger budgets. I would like to put them into festivals rather than just make commercial films. I would really like to have a lot of heart in my next film with messages, to get people%u2019s thoughts on it. Right now I have a project called %u2018Wild Minds.%u2019 It%u2019s a psychological drama about a guy who is struggling with his destiny and his place in life after his parents are killed in an accident, and he is accused of causing their death. His conviction will either take him to prison or a mental institution, and the girl he meets on his journey may be the key to helping him find his way. I%u2019m really looking forward to getting this project made and seeing how it could influence or help people who are having similar struggles.
