Q: What was your favourite vacation?
Even though I live by the sea and I adore spending time at the beach, my favourite vacation would be any of my winter holidays that I spent hiking, playing in the snow and getting cosy by the fireplace with a glass of mulled wine.

Q: If you could return to the past or hurry to the future, how old would you like to be and why?

Well, I was never thinking of this, but let’s say I would like to attend or organise a real Victorian ball with all its etiquette and manners. I always enjoyed reading books from the Victorian era.

My wedding party.
Q: The last film, book, concert?
Last film – Focus with Will Smith; Last book – The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy.

Definitely Bugs Bunny. As a cartoon character he is a legend. Many of us, even our parents, grew up with him. He is always very smart and at the same time effortlessly cool. I always admired his wittiness.
Q: What did you learn last week?
Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.
