We have [our own] traditions, we have songs…we have stories that are passed onto generations of all the people that have fought for our independent country, i know I have that frustration also when I moved to Hollywood, as an actress…I'm very proud to be Ukrainian and I would walk into a casting room, and they're like, 'Oh, we're looking for a Russian.' And they think it's the same thing. And I'm like, 'Wait a second. No, it's a completely different language.' Ukraine has completely different traditions and a completely different way of life.
