Looks like the interview may be fake:
http://english.pravda.ru/society/stories/06-05-2011/117816-grigori_perelman-0/
Also from Pravda.
The following paragraph is a quote, but I can't figure out how to make them in replies:
Moreover, it seemed "impossible and bizarre" for the blogger that Perelman was speaking about the "Poincare conjecture" in the interview. "He solved the conjecture, so it becomes a theorem," the blogger wrote on his webpage. "All those thoughts about nanotechnologies and the ideas of filling hollowness look like rabbi's thoughts about pork flavor properties." The critic stressed out that fundamental science prefers to say that all of that does not have applied relevance, which is the point of it all."
Looks also like there are some aspects of the "interview" not shared in Pravda, like this stuff about nanotechnology.
I'm not sure if that last sentence (of the quoted paragraph) is true or not.
