People think, yeah, I'm the wild guy out there. And so, no, I'm a disciplined professional. And at that time, family, of course, was important because we grew up with our mother who raised us. We were three brothers and one mother. We lived in one single room in a sort of pension, we called it. It's a boarding house building.
And of course we had clashes like brothers would have and until today it's mysterious to foreigners. Not long ago, a few years ago, I visited my older brother in Spain. where he had built himself a big house and he had a wonderful sailing boat. And we were at a fish restaurant and I studied the menu and he put his arm around my shoulder.

And all of a sudden I feel some stinging thing in my back and I smell smoke. And I realize he has set my shirt on fire with his cigarette lighter. Wow.

It does happen and it's not that serious.

Well, that's my profession. That's my profession as a poet. And you look deep into who we are and you describe it. But you shouldn't make the mistake to believe that memoirs are confessional.

And I do not want to step beyond a certain threshold. It is not healthy if you circle too much. around your own navel. And it is not good to recall all the traumata of your childhood.
