The mother of Ieva Zasimauskaitė openly about the unconventional lifestyle of her daughter, the early marriage and the most difficult period of Eurovision

"What was Eve in her childhood?"

When Eva was born, she was the opposite of the eldest son, Ugni. He was very gentle, calmer, and Eve was an active but obedient leader. She was a very good child, it was never a problem. I remember very well when, after a year, on the same day, she took her first independent steps. She was an artist from an early age. Everywhere she sang, she played, wanted to be the first, to dominate, to listen. Now I look at the old photos and see how much that has changed. She's a dead woman, think about what she's saying. Adult. With the advent of "Eurovision", I see how the child has grown.

– Has the art trend been seen in childhood?

– yes In kindergarten, she danced the dance dances, although I might want more. I wanted to have the correct posture. After that, when the nursery group appeared, he began to sing. Participated in several festivals in the city.

"Was this tendency to art come from the family?"

"My husband is an autodidact musician, playing a very good guitar. In addition to his music, no celebration had ever happened before. I also graduated from a music school, piano class. And in the family we all sing together. This is the desire to sing, play music and come from the family.

"Did you have any of your dreams that Eve could have grown up with?"

"I did not, but I always saw her tending to be artistic. We may not have encouraged her to continue learning music for her grandparents. Eva graduated from a music school and sang not only well but also played the piano. A regular step would have been to go further to the conservatory. But the attitudes of the elderly have outweighed the fact that they can not normally live in art. You need an earthly profession. Sitting together, we talked to what she would like without singing, she chose what she had done – hotel management. From what I understand, she liked it. The practice also liked, but it is not possible to combine work with singing until now. If you want to work in the future, I think you will be able to do it well. But I regret that, so I did not support your ideas of joining the conservatory. At first, as if you were planning to study medicine because we are both doctors. Eve went to the dentist's office, watching her work and saying that if we wanted, she could be a dentist, but she did not like it. We do not encourage this. We encourage both children to do what they want.

"How did you get along with your brother?"

– Everything was done, but if, say, one of the punishers or bardavs, they got together in a strong team. Ugnius loved and loved his sister very much. When he was born to Eve, he was very grown up. The session was all for him. We did not have much money, and when Ieva began to sing, Ugnius gave up everything and said that you would help Eve. She may not even know you. Ugnius always said, look at Eve because she has talent and can sing. We can say that thanks to fire we invest in Eve.

Was there no concern when Eve's musical career began to rise and the entertainment world came to life?

There was a lot of anxiety. Eva maybe not all of us and did not say we would not be nervous. She wanted to protect herself against negative emotions. I even tried to attend whenever I could, and we talked a lot with Eve about it. Maybe not everything has been achieved, but looking at her life today, I see that she has been able to choose what is good and what is not.

"How did adolescence last?"

"It seemed calm, but now that I hear what she is saying, I understand that it was everything." We trust him, we go to the parties, we always come back in time. I did not see her drinking or smoking, so it's strange to hear that she tells me she was everything. I did not see it. Perhaps a more difficult period was when you left for Spain. At first, I thought I was just connected to the family, wanting someone to sympathize with it. But then I realized that the problem was bigger. Thank you Marius (Marius Kiltinavičius – Eve's current man – red.past.) Who drove up there and helped her. Maybe it was too early in the show world and it was hard to handle the load, mind you. I do not think she could be depressed, it just seemed like a language. She always smiled, she seemed happy, but maybe she did not want to worry about me.

"Today, Eve promotes a different way of life – with the husband, do not eat meat, guided by Vedic philosophy, by the Vaisnavas traditions.

"Until I was familiar with this philosophy, there was anxiety. But if you are interested, confidence comes. I see that Eve radiates peace, love to the neighbor, all around, and that leaves me calm.

– Eve was married early – only 21 years old. Do not you, as a mother, have any questions about this?

"No. I have an old-fashioned view that if people decide to stay together, they should be together. It does not depend on my will. I saw Marius love her a lot, she trusts him, he was a pillar of her everywhere. Marius was always around. I trusted him, so I was quiet when I ran.

"How do you agree with the boy?"

Okay. I always remember how he asked if he could make friends with Eve. It was a really good time.

Eve fell into the world of entertainment without the disease of the star?

– Not really. Only the focus on the family fell. There was a lot of activity, not much time, but there was still no day when she would not call or write a message. But I did not notice the star. She always felt great responsibility, perhaps even greater than all of us. Particularly difficult was the Eurovision.

– Would you call the Eurovision Song Contest one of the most difficult?

"Yes, it was a difficult time for the whole family. It was very worrying before the end, Eve was overwhelmed. But when we drove there, we connected, the tension slipped. It was a wonderful feeling that the whole family was together.

"Does Eve consult you today about your creative work?"

"She always shows us her work and asks for an opinion." Dad is very critical, he says what he likes, which is not. Eve often asks for his comments. And I'm always beautiful. This is her last song. When I heard, the heat flooded. And I was thinking-Eve could write such a song. It is a great joy for me.

– Do you read about the daughter in the media?

"I would lie if I did not say. Even the family laughs at me that I know all the news. I follow and it is important for me to advise on time, although you may not need these tips now. Ieva can advise me. She is thinking about her actions and doing her best.

"How did their relationship change?"

– From childhood to marriage, we did not divide as mothers and daughters as girlfriends. When a man appeared, he became the most important. I had to adapt to that, but I see that our relationship is now stronger. Maybe my mother was too involved in her life. When you step back, let yourself be on the road, much better. Perhaps this mummy love prevents them from unfolding completely.
