This is Diana's interview on NEWS.RU Link: news.ru/culture/sejchas-ya-v-terapii-ankudinova-iz…
It was taken before she left for her vacations, enjoy.

🎤︎︎ - How do you spend your summer?

💬 D.A. - This summer is probably the first in my life that is entirely devoted to creativity. I am passionate about creating my debut authorial album.
I write music, compose lyrics, it has completely absorbed my life.
Such a creative, sedentary summer.
It's my first album, so there are many fears, what if something goes wrong?
But I try to cope.

🎤︎︎ - Some time ago, you recorded a duet with Dima Bilan with the song "In the Area of the Heart."
What is your relationship with him?

💬 D.A. - We became friends after the "Mask" project on NTV.
We found many points of connection, we both became famous at a fairly young age by winning competitions, and we understand that we need to move forward without losing ourselves.
Dima, as a mentor, supports me a lot, helps me not to withdraw into myself, not to be disappointed in what I do... It might seem like you go on stage, sing, people love you, attend your concerts, but then you burn out.
That happened to me at some point.
I spent quite a long time getting out of that state until I finally managed to find a new self.
During this period, Dima supported me a lot.
He is incredibly hardworking, sensitive, with an inner core.
At the same time, he enjoys his work, and the audience loves him.
For me, he is an example of how to live in harmony with yourself and society.

🎤︎︎ - You've said you experienced burnout. Did you ever get starstruck?

💬 D.A. - I have someone who can give me a "magic kick" at the right moment, and I immediately forget that I am a "star.", that person is my mom (Diana's adoptive mother, Irina).
She is very straightforward, If I start to get carried away, she immediately lets me know.
If it weren't for my mom, I don't know how my life would have turned out, she always knows how to find just the right words so that in any state I begin to believe in myself.
Although I live separately now, my mom remains one of the most important people in my life.
It is important for me to come to her and show new songs, share ideas and experiences.
We can chat like girlfriends and laugh, I love going to the cottage.
I immediately feel like a child, mom will bake pies and prepare all my favorite dishes, surround me with care and attention.
At the cottage, close people gather, and no one pressures you or discusses what you don't want to discuss.
I think this is the most ideal thing that can be in a family.
It wasn't always like this, we worked on our relationship during the separation period.
When a child grows and changes, they start to get to know their mom again, it is important for the mom at this moment to adjust and start loving and understanding the adult person that her child has become.
My mom managed to do this, and I am very grateful to her for it.
I wish everyone to maintain relationships with their mother in any circumstances, if, of course, she deserves it.

🎤︎︎ - What character traits did you dislike about yourself during adolescence?

💬 D.A. - Of course, like all traumatized people, I can say that I don't love myself very much, but I want to say the opposite.
If you look at my actions and my surroundings, I am still a good person, maybe I am too stubborn, because I was born in the Year of the ram.
But it is probably thanks to this that I managed to draw attention to myself and get into those competitions where quieter people could not get in.

🎤︎︎ - I know that you used to react extremely painfully to social media negative criticism.
Have you managed to overcome these feelings?

💬 D.A. - Previously, the reactions were unconscious, now I am in therapy and have become more aware.
Envy and hate are part of the profession, they both exist in the life of any artist.
As they say, "if you can't change the situation, change your attitude towards it."
I succeeded.
And now, honestly, I don't care at all about haters attacks.
There are enough people in society who support me and accept me as I am and they are also my source of inspiration and calm.

🎤︎︎ - In September, the international music competition "Intervision" will take place in Moscow.
Was there any desire to participate?

💬 D.A. - No. I am currently undergoing such a creative and vocal rebirth that I have completely different priorities. I've had enough of competitions.

🎤︎︎ - What do you think about artists who suddenly start singing without having professional training but still gain the audience's attention? Like Instasamka, for example?

💬 D.A. - By nature, I am not at all envious, I can admire others' talent and rejoice in their success.
As for Instasamka, we have different directions in music.
I support diversity in artists, tastes, and opinions.
There are so many people in the world that if you truly deserve attention, you will always find your audience, regardless of whether you have musical education or not.
I have my audience, Instasamka has hers, but if some of her fans listen to my new album and like it, I will be happy to see them at my concerts, If my audience likes other artists too, that's great.
I don't see public attention as a pie that needs to be divided.
If a creative person grows and changes, I will support them, If they stagnate, they become uninteresting to me, just like any audience.

🎤︎︎ - Are you still collaborating with Brandon Stone (producer and musician who supports Diana's talent)?

💬 D.A. - We keep in touch with Brandon, he is a great friend and mentor to me, and we have joint projects and ideas for songs. He is a wonderful person and a top-level professional. I was lucky to meet him once, and I am proud of our friendship.

🎤︎︎ - What advice would you give to yourself three to five years ago?

💬 D.A. - I would advise myself to fully engage in all the good moments that have happened and are happening to me. Specifically the good ones! Not to let them pass by.

🎤︎︎ - What kind of family do you dream of building?

💬 D.A. - I don't even have thoughts about my own family yet, I am fully focused on creativity, and that suits me. But we, humans, are changeable beings, so I can't predict what will happen in my life in two or three years.

🎤︎︎ - What three character traits do you especially like about yourself right now?

💬 D.A. - Honesty, responsiveness, sincerity, qualities that I periodically suppressed in myself because it seemed like no one needed them.
I considered it a weakness, but now I am learning not to be afraid to show them. These character traits are also reflected in my album. Every song and every line there is completely me.
