- "It was ten years ago, ten years ago... The film was shot in the beginning of our artistic life. A song gathered us, that song we sang just for ourselves, for the soul... without pretendencies, [which is] is such a great word. And that time, I will never be able to forget.
With the ensemble Smerichka, I am connected an awful lot. I was "born" in that group. And our friendship still continues to today. The success of that group makes me happy, but my non-participation in it has its drawbacks. Unfortunately, we only rarely meet, we both take part in our own tours, but when those meetings happen, we feel very pleasant, very happy." (en)
- "Zinkevych was supposed to sing solo, and the girls would sing in unison. Vasyl, not having the experience of recording in a studio, did not sing like he needed. Strihovych proposed to me to find someone else. I remembered the student of the medical institute, Volodya Ivasyuk, who during the dances at the House of the Officers had sung my song "Bazhannya". Volodya arrived. Having a musical background, a violinist-to-be, he recorded the song in a few takes. Zinkevych was hurt in his pride then. He was offended, he was strudding the hallways of the studio, humming and humming something, and then requested me, to let him do just one more take. Having gotten his act together, this time, Vasyl sang better." (en)
