What is one of your favorite memories?    I'm trying to create a new favorite memory every day.

Describe yourself in max three words.   power source, initiator, sensation seeker

What is a sound you love?   The opening of the curtain in the cinema, when the movie is about to start.

Who was your hero when you were a child?   I always wanted to be a mixture of "Die drei ???": Intelligent and witty like Justus Jonas, athletic like Peter Shaw, and meticulous like Bob Andrews.

You are an artist because….  ...for me it comes naturally. It's the only job I can imagine. But I can try and explain it: I love to share my vision with the world, move and being moved, and inspire not only actresses, actors and the crew, but also the audience.  My parents used to watch a lot of movies with me when I was a child - experiences and emotions I will never forget.
