My favourite film scene is… The final scene from The Third man by Carol Reed.
One day I would like to go to… St. Petersburg in the year 1938.
My bag is not complete without… Cigarettes.
The worst thing I ever bought is… Betting on the horse “Rock roll boy” in a race. He did not even start.
The best thing I ever tasted is… Belgian waffles.
I was happiest when… I played football in the community center team. I was twelve at the time and scored five goals against our mortal enemies.
What I regret most regret is… All the things I did not tell to the people I loved and who passed away.
I’m not superstitious, but… I am superstitious.
My most irritating feature is… My obsession with memories.
