What’s your most precious possession?
The word ‘possession’ bothers me, because I would say my children. And I’m very happy that I’m alive. That I get to live and get to be who I am. That I get to be a mother. And that I’m a woman.
What’s your most beautiful memory?
I can’t say giving birth is my most beautiful memory… But for the first time making contact with my children is. On the moment they’re born, you know that they are yours and came out of you, but there’s no mutual recognition. The first time they made eye contact, that they recognized me, that was very beautiful.

When my little sister was committed to a mental health facility. And the loss of loved-ones.

When everyone who’s dear to me is okay.
Why did you cry, the last time you cried?
I cried when I was watching a movie that really touched me: 7 Kogustaki Mucize, a Turkish film on Netflix about a man with a mental disability, who is sentenced to prison because of a murder he didn’t commit. I cried a lot while watching that.
Who would you like to have dinner with?
Oprah Winfrey and Tina Turner, two very strong women who went through a lot in their lives but always managed to stand ground. I really admire that.
