What is the first thing you in the mornings after getting up?
What I do before getting up is actually much more interesting. I always listen to my thought-machine as it slowly gets going and to what is starts producing. That way, I can immediately read how I’m feeling.
What should everyone have done once in their life?
Make a wrong decision in order to realise that there is no right and wrong.
Is there anything that you regret?
I have been wide of the mark many times in my life, tried things that didn’t feel good, hurt people, judged them and wronged them and then went on to learn what responsibility, forgiveness, love and the good life feel like. That’s why I can’t really regret anything.
What inspires you?
People and music. I met a pretty hot guy at a party recently who just slapped out such a profound piece of wisdom that I am now writing an article about it. It’s about how we have to feel really miserable before we change something. Music inspires me in a similar way. I’m currently playing the album „Muttersprache“ by Sarah Connor up and down, even if it might be uncool. Just because there is so much life and wisdom in the lyrics.
What are you no good at?
Technology and design! My new website was made by wonderful men who have no idea what I do, but put it all together with their pretty fonts, programming tricks and design. That’s what I call a fair division of work!
Where is humanity going? Are we on a good way?
We always are, because evolution has no opinion. Good and bad are just something we humans need because we need to feel friction. And from this friction comes progress.
Dog or cat?
Panther. Who is a dog – my dog.
Why is hate good?
Only those who can hate, can love. Imagine trying to find out how love feels if you couldn’t feel any other feelings. I think the universe was doing us a favour when it created polarity.
The wisest advice you can give?
Sit in the shit! Shit is there to turn it into gold.
With which celebrity (dead or alive) would you like to practise yoga?
Florence Welch from Florence and the Machine. I adore that woman. I bet her yoga outfit would be out of this world.
What would you cook for us if we came to visit you at home?
I would invite you for coffee and cake. Home-made, of course.
What would you do if you weren’t afraid of anything?
Good question! I have come to the conclusion that I am grateful for my fear, because otherwise, I wouldn’t have the time to enjoy what I have just dared to do with franziska.love.
When was the last time you tried something new and what was it?
On the day franziska.love went live, I didn’t work and just chilled in the sun. It was the first time I started a new job with a day off.
Which question should we have asked?
You should have asked me about the meaning of life. But maybe I’ll have the chance to answer that later.
Last words:
Life.
