" One of the main criteria - originality . I want to do such films , which I had not yet seen . ( Laughs .) I feel like I have my own view of how the movie can be directed . I love movies , and I like to be not only the front of the camera , but also behind it ."
VK : At the age of 35 years , you have already achieved a lot . You have the " Oscar " for role in " Black Swan " by Darren Aronofsky , you tried yourself as a director , producer , became a member of the American Academy ...
NP : " Oscar " has never been my goal , but after getting to the short list you willy-nilly become a member of this mad race for a few months and finally capture the cherished statuette , of course , you are very happy about . ( Laughs .)
How can you easily switch from serious dramas to blockbusters and comedies ?
NP : I always choose what is interesting for me , that I was touched . And the scale of the picture here does not matter . Even sometimes I agree to act the role , just to enjoy the process . After all , in any case it will be unique experience . " Leon " has taught me this attitude to work . It failed at the premiere and got terrible reviews from critics , but has become a truly cult . It is only after some period of time passes that you can rightly estimate an event . Time is the father of truth .
VK : Your range of roles is very impressive .
