If you can change one thing in your look or inside what will you choose?

I guess one thing in my look people actually like but I don't like, which is my mouth, it is so small. and it has this weird pointy lip.

I think maybe also my ears, the funny shape, look at that, they bend backwards or something.

I guess on the inside I need to stop being such a control freak.

I mean this is related to our movie Control, but I think there are certain thing you have to let go, especially when I have a daughter now.

You think you can control a child, but you cannot. the kid is going to do whatever they want. You have to be able to be flexible, to go with them, and also give them the room to grow. if you try to control them too much, you might have a rebellious kid at your hands then you will be really screwed. I think I have to learn sort of "let going" life more.
