I like American women. They do things sexually Russian girls never dream of doing - like showering.

To say that you now trust the Russian military command and control system because some Russian general told you from the bottom of his heart that's the case strikes me as most unrealistic.

I had one companion. He was a teacher from the Ukraine who spoke English so we could communicate a bit. I learnt a few Russian words but it was hard to concentrate.

Math and science fields are not the only areas where we see the United States lagging behind. Less than 1 percent of American high school students study the critical foreign languages of Arabic Chinese Japanese Korean or Russian combined.

I landed a job with Roger Corman. The job was to write the English dialogue for a Russian science fiction picture. I didn't speak any Russian. He didn't care whether I could understand what they were saying he wanted me to make up dialogue.

'Evil men have no songs.' How is it that the Russians have songs?

I had this wild imagination. I was never me. All my childhood photos I'm in fancy dress playing a Russian refuge or Marvelous Mad Madam Mim.

I'm an afternoon tea type of girl. I come from a Russian background where we love our teas. So between lunch and dinner after training I come home and I love a nice cup of tea with jam in it as we drink it there. Black English Breakfast with raspberry jam is my favorite.

The great drama of Russian history has been between its state and society. Put simply Russia has always had too much state and not enough society.

Russians can give you arms but only the United States can give you a solution.

I grew up under Communism so we could only learn Russian and then when Communism fell in 1989 we could learn a few more things and have the freedom to travel and the freedom of speech - and the freedom of dreaming really.

The Russians feared Ike. They didn't fear me.

The failure of the Russian Socialist Republic will be the defeat of the proletariat of the whole world.

I can say without affectation that I belong to the Russian convict world no less than I do to Russian literature. I got my education there and it will last forever.

Television is something the Russians invented to destroy American education.

Courage: Great Russian word fit for the songs of our children's children pure on their tongues and free.
