What’s one thing you’re a fan of that people might not expect?

        Well, I have written 3,600 pages about myself and my life, so there are unfortunately no secrets left. But I love soccer, though.

        Something I no longer can afford to eat; something happens to you at 40 – but it’s chocolate ice cream. Everything childish, really.
