“My favorite quote is: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”

„My favorite moment in a evening of a performance is definitely the moment before I go on stage, this is when I get butterflies in my stomach and I think that all the journey to be there was definitely worth it.“

„My favorite place in Leipzigis the zoo!“
