Philosophy of Celebrity
Spiridonova has her own idea of life. Among her interlocutors there are very intelligent, truly erudite people, but Daria is not inferior to any of them in wit. With Andrei Zvyagintsev, the TV presenter discussed his film "Exile". Together with director Spiridonova, she came to the conclusion that real exile occurs when a person plunges into himself and sees the world around him through the prism of his ego. It is worth forgetting about your interests and doing something for others disinterestedly - and you return to the light and gain happiness. But one must come to this idea, having overcome many trials, having won, first of all, one’s own selfishness and egoism. Daria also believes that the most important thing in a person’s life is finding himself. This can take many years, but it is this process that leads to success and prosperity. Speaking on this subject with the director Valery Todorovsky, Spiridonova learned that the main test for understanding her own needs is to do what gives you sincere joy. Suffering in life is needed only to make out a place where you are satisfied and happy.
