I know how to be loud.

I'm like the Russian Tyra Banks.

I'm really a self-made businesswoman.

I am used to people underestimating me.

I want my government to be transparent.

Revolutions in Russia are even worse than bad czars.

Stalin is a shameful stain on our country's history.

You can laugh at me, but I understand show business.

Yes, I love good clothes, good shoes, but I earned it.

I don't need anyone's approval for going to elections.

Vladimir Putin is a person from a different generation.

I don't trust a system where Putin makes all decisions.

According to international law, Crimea is Ukraine's. Period.

I don't have to justify myself. I work a lot and I earn a lot.

I am not afraid of Putin, so I go and challenge him on the elections.

I'm the kind of person whom you like or hate, you never stay neutral.

I intend to be a candidate for those who want to vote against everyone.

I feel like I'm in a horror film. Everywhere I turn, there's a journalist.

I'm against bureaucratization, corruption, seeing the same people in power.

Russia is the biggest European nation. We are Europeans, we are not Asians.

That's the tragedy of our country. Everyone is an inexperienced politician.

In the end, believe me, there will be no friendship between Trump and Putin.

Well, Trump is certainly not my hero. I'm sorry to say that, but that's true.

I'm a politician who's against corruption that Putin has done in our country.

I don't want to take power. I want to break the wall of this autocratic regime.

Of course I want to be president, I want to win, but I also want to be sincere.

My burden is my past as a TV star. But, you know, pasts cannot be a life sentence.

The machine of repression can only be started, it can't be stopped - even by Putin.

It was very important to me that I be my own person. That's why I chose show business.

I am one of the most famous people in Russia, which is maybe not modest, but it's true.

I'm not for seizing power, I'm for justice in the country and for democratic elections.

When I was 18 and was studying in university, Vladimir Putin became president of Russia.

With men it's always like this in Russia - they always want to be the head of everything.

Russian people are not stupid. They know that the system we are living in is undemocratic.

I think I can really make people go and vote against the system - voting for Ksenia Sobchak.

Let's not make out as though I will be the winner. I won't be. Putin will run and he will win.

No way Putin will let anyone take away his power. Even if all the people of Russia voted for me.

I don't want revolution in my country. The only way to change Russia without blood is evolution.

I wanted to become a star, of course. That was very important to me. I wanted to achieve something.

I mean, I'm a political figure in Russia for more than 10 years... This is how people in Russia know me.

My voters, my core audience, are young people in Russia, so I actually do what I need to have their support.

Because I really believe that Russia needs a fresh face, a new generation, to be seen on the political stage.

Work hard and go your own path. You'll make enemies, lose friends, but you'll make even better ones on the way.

Ksenia Sobchak as president is like Sergei Shnurov as an artist. It's satire. It's a very high-level art project.

You know, in Russia we say there are three things you can't choose: your parents, your gender and your president.

I've been famous for years through my entertainment programs, through my show business activities and my business.

It's Russia. It's a patriarchal society. That's a fact you have to get used to. We have sexism. And it's widespread.

I have a certain tradition here at the GQ awards. Every year I pick the best-looking man and bestow upon him my kiss.

In a system created by Putin, it is only possible for Putin to win. I am realistic about who will become the president.

I'm going to take part in the elections, not just as a candidate but as a mouthpiece for those who can't become candidates.
