A quelle heure et comment tu te lèves ? At what time and how do you get up in the morning?

I now set my alarm clock for about 8 o'clock in the morning, but after I gave up work I never set my alarm clock, and I wake up just when I wake up. Now I try to get up at 8 o'clock. The first thing I do is have a glasse of water and a bowl of fruits. And the second thing I do is to ride my horse! I normally ride one or two horses in the morning and then I have a cup of tea. And by 12 o'clock I'm so hungry I can eat a horse!

Pourquoi tu te lèves ? Why do you get up ?

Everyday is a fantastic new start for me. I'm an optimistic. Every single day is a day that I want to jump up and make something new. That's for me normal to think that the world is exciting and new and I can make a difference. I know I'm lucky because there's a lot of people that don't think like that. There's a lot of people that struggle and the days are different for them. I know I'm lucky.

Quelle est ta carotte dans la vie ? What is your « carrot » in life?

I believe that human beings are better when they are under a little bit of pressure and most of them did. I think that's what makes a person. I think it is a natural part in every person that they want to work at something and work hard at this thing. That's normal in everybody and I don't think you actually need an incentive. I think that's normal in every individual. I 've always been driven, I always have that drive, for me success is good, I like to be the best at what I do and I'm lucky I've always probably been the best in what I do, so it is easy for me, I just keep working for the number one slot.

Qu’est ce qui te maintient debout ? What keeps you standing ?

I'm a natural optimist, I'm a natural born optimist. That's what it is! I like people. I have figured that what makes you big success in life is to be surrounded by postive thinking people who are actually better than you. If you just surround yourself by people better than you, and then you really have a big success. So I surround myself by very good people, that's what is the big drive for me.

Qu’est ce qui te laisse les jambes coupées ? What really get’s to you, what brings you down?

Apparently I have been really depressed once, that was 2 years ago, and I can't put my finger on why I became depressed. It seems it leads down to my relationship with my partner, it can only have been that, apart from that I don't know what would put me down, apart from obviously the illness of a close relative or a problem in the family. If that did it would probably be a big draw on me because I would take it very personnaly and take it that I would have to work so hard and if I work very hard I would be able to get rid of the problem. That would be the big area that I would think that if I work that hard I could get rid of the problem.

Si j'étais une fée : Un souhait ? If I was a fairy : A wish ?

It would have to be just a very casual wish. One wish I would love is that my father would still live, that would be the deepest wish there was. That aside it would be winning the lotery and buying a beautiful house in the south of France. With my best friend Karen. That's all I want in life! Modest!
