As director Nikita Mikhalkov said in an exclusive interview with Izvestia, he admits many wrongdoing, but he never envied anyone.
“Maybe this is the highest degree of egocentrism. Say, I will do better anyway. May be. But I had no envy. And this is very important. Because everything that is sinful in the world is based on envy.
