PLEASE RT! Corrected translation of @adamlambert Russian Cosmopolitan interview

Q1: Hi, I am from Russia. Have you ever visited our country?
A1: Oh, I was in Moscow last year but only for a couple of days.

Q2: How did you like our capital and people?
A2: I was impressed with people in the audience - it was super! And your city - beautiful architecture, clean streets, luxury cars. I even found time to check out some shops - and was impressed...

Q3: Do you get nervous before your performance? What do you do if you start to panic before going on stage?
A3: I was very nervous in the beginning. I got used to it now and don't really get nervous. But if I get a panic attack, I try to relax, take a deep breath and immediately calm down.

Q4: Anything interesting happening now? New single, video, tours?
A4: Recently we finished work on the video for Better Than I Know Myself. I put a lot of work into it and am very proud of the result. I love everything about it, especially the message of it: about dark and light sides of a human nature and how it all applies to very person.

Q5: It seems you are one of these people who complains about paparazzi. Have your fans ever annoyed you? Maybe... scared and surprised?
A5: My fans are wonderful. Mostly, they made me happy and surprised, never scared. Of course, they follow me everywhere and always take pictures. Sometimes they dig up some obscure facts of my biography - facts that I have never intended to become public. But I am absolutely sure that they are so interested in everything connected to me only because they love me.

Q6: Are you a hard worker?
A6: Yes, I work almost 24 hrs a day. In order to remain current in today's music industry, one MUST work very hard! Imagine - I jump out of bed early every morning and work till late at night: lots of interviews, video shoots, recordings... But it is a happy place because I am doing what I love.

Q7: Do you believe in luck? If yes, do you consider yourself a lucky person?
A7: Yes, I believe in luck. And I am lucky. However, the formula of any success is a lot of work with only a fraction of luck.

Q8: There is a section called "Body" in this issue of Cosmo. Do you have anything to say on the topic of diet and health?
A8: This topic is very close to heart. I was much heavier in my youth than I am now. It's very important to take care of your health, including healthy (healthy in a good sense, not starving!), nutrition. It is important to talk and write about it. It's very good that you do it.

Q9. Do you have a favorite song? Maybe one you would love to do a cover?
A9: Ahhh! To be honest, I can't answer any questions about "favorite". There are too many songs that I love. I am a musician after all.

Q10: I am going to ask about "favorite" anyway - we'll check if you can answer. Favorite sport?
A10: I am absolutely indifferent to sport.

Q11: Favorite city?
A11: It is impossible to choose - London, Paris, Tokyo, Sydney...I liked Moscow too but I haven't really seen it yet.

Q12: Favorite movie?
A12: Velvet Goldmine by Todd Haynes.

Q13: Do you watch American Idol? Do you miss Simon Cowell?
A13: To be honest, I don't miss Simon at all. I watch American Idol sometimes out of curiosity. I don't have time to watch every episode.

Q14: Do you have a dream that wasn't yet realized?
A14: I don't think so. I am living my dream and it's a miracle.

Q15: Is word "looser" a part of your vocabulary? Do you have any friends who are excellent people but haven't succeeded in life?
A15: I don't like it at all when someone is called a looser! And I am not sure I understand what you mean when you say "looser".

Q16: Let me ask it in a different way. In the United States, success is often measured by your bank account. Is money important to you?
A16: No, money was never the most important thing for me. I am not greedy or stingy.

Q17: Do you have close childhood friends?
A17: Of course, and we see each other very often. My best friend lives in LA and I see her con-stant-ly!

Q18: Are you close to your mother?
A18: Everyone always asks me about my mother. We are very close. As I am with my dad and brother.

Q19: If you knew that tomorrow is the end of the would, how would you spend your last day?
A19: I would have picked up my parents and brother, invited several friends and had a delicious dinner with conversations in this wonderful company.

Q20. Can you cook?
A20: A little. I don't have time.

Q21. Do you have any strange food in your fridge?
A21: Horseradish sauce.

Q22: That's unusual for an American!
A22: Yes, it's excellent, especially if you add it t vegetables and fish.

Q23: Do you have any other hobby except music?
A23: Music was always my hobby and now it became a profession. I don't have time for any other hobbies.
