My friends live an intense life. They don’t think about the day after. The psichiatrist told me it’s a problem because you want that intensity and then you have ups and downs. You become bipolar. Still I like this intensity. I don’t believe it would suit me the everyday. So I make a life on the edge. Others would say in the margins, on the edge. The question of the limits. We all go in the limits. That’s the definition of art. Go in the limits. The cat is still wild. He was a tiger who now lives next to the humans. We are tigers.
