Originally asked
Vanity Fair, to its interview subject, The Proust Questionnaire
A fixed Vanity Fair Proust Questionnaire item asked across its three-decade archive, with independent variants in friendship and profile interviews.

The word says it all. To be a friend means that they are always there, for the good or the bad.

Playing tennis, competing, winning, but also being at home in Spain, in Majorca, with my friends and family.
Selfishness and no respect for the others.
Just normal people from my hometown, from my country.
I don’t think I have one in particular. I am pretty calm. Just some small things that I better not comment on :-).
