1- The character who touched you the most?
Charlie Brown.
2- The character that scared you the most?
The "janitor" from the American television series "Scrubs". Or again, the bat in the animated feature film from Disney studios "Basil, Private Detective", the green and shiny form touched by Princess Aurora in Sleeping Beauty (1959), but also the ogre, the pale man) in Pan's Labyrinth (2006) and probably thousands of others...
3- The character you would most like to meet?
"Gandalf" or "Jack Sparrow", I need their wisdom.
4- The character you would like to reincarnate as (^_^)?
“Pumbaa.” I don't need a Gandalf at this point anymore. “Hakuna matata” (Pumbaa’s saying which means “Live your life without any worries”)!
5- The world you would like to live in?
The bathhouse in "Spirited Away". Chihiro and Lin eating red bean buns and looking at the sea is one of the scenes that touched me the most, it is in my opinion, one of the most beautiful scenes in cinema.
6- The world you wouldn't want to live in?
“Paprika” or “Inception”. These are definitely two of my favorite films. But I wouldn't be able to live in a world without being sure it was real. This is probably why they are so credible.
7- What role would you like to play in a work of fiction?
Any work of fiction is fine for me, as long as it involves traveling and exploring.
8- Your earliest memory of fiction?
"Mahōjin Guru Guru".
9- Your favorite word?
I would say “Free” in English. (free in French). Especially if it is related to food.
10- Music you would like to listen to now?
Some very strange and little-known Breton songs; I don't even know how to spell the words. Original English version:
