10 Questions – 10 Answers

– Where would you like to wake up tomorrow morning?


– I would prefer to wake up in the same place where I fell asleep the night before. It would be a pretty wild trip if I woke up somewhere else.

– Please name a book, a movie, a piece or a song, which you think is about you?


– If I had to associate myself with a book, it would be The Beginner by Charles Bukowski. If it's a movie, then Frida, which portrays Frida Kahlo’s life, art, and love story. And if it’s a song, right now it would be Wanted Dead or Alive by Bon Jovi.

– What was your greatest rebellion as a teenager?


– I wasn’t the rebellious type because I even wanted to be different from the rebels. But once, I sneaked out at night just to secretly wander around the village with my then-best friend.

– What would you do, if you wouldn’t be doing what you do now?


– I’d be a photographer :)

– What year would you type into a time machine, and why?


– The 1930s, so I could meet Katalin Karády, and 2013, so I could hug my grandfather one more time.

– My biggest fear is fear itself.

– What ’superficial’ things do you waste your time with?

– Which historical figure or fictive personality would you like to share a cup of coffee/tea or a glass of wine with?
