Music - I love virtually all kinds of music. I like to hang out with friends, mainly in quieter clubs or restaurants where you can talk, I like thinking, laughing, joking.....Other interests: acting, photography, style and fashion, interior design, industrial design......
I'd like to meet:
Nice people, you...
...the one...

...and speaking of it: the Dude - I gotta get more relaxed, hell, he could show me how ;-)

Books:
Well, to be honest I read mainly specialized books or biographies....novels not that much....... among the last books I read were "How To Be A Star" by Mark van Huisseling, a Led Zep biography and a book with poems by Robert Gernhardt
Heroes:
Kermit the Frog: he's green, has to lead a run-down theater with a weird crew, is stalked by a pig and nothin' ever works out. That's not easy....;-)
Professionally, there are some people I have high respect of like Elton John, Henry Mancini, Prince, Sir George Martin, Quincy Jones, Trevor Horn......
But generally, to me heroes are people who never give up their dreams even if they have to fight against all odds or people who never give up, no matter how hard life may hit them - like my Mom and my Dad.
