MOSCOW, July 14. /TASS/. American producer and president of Studio Mao, Stephen Mao, told TASS in an interview that he would like to earn the right to be Russian.
"I've always been the type of person that I want to earn that right. I don't think it's right - and this is my personal opinion, but I don't think it's right to come and just receive something without doing anything. You can't just be Russian because you're connected with the country. I'm earning the right to something is how I look at that," the producer said.
When asked if he had plans to obtain a Russian passport, Mao replied: "Maybe."
Life in Russia
The American producer said he has been living in Russia for about five years. "We live out just past Vnukovo. And I love Moscow. Moscow is a great city. And we're very happy to be here. But we [also] travel" Mao shared.
