Three, six or seven years are confusing deadlines. But for me who likes to torture my mind, to ask myself questions, it gives me time to mark the route. If I want to be a dad at 33 or 35, I have to think about it now.”concludes the one who claims a little further to be 26 years old in Mays “40 years in the job” et “12 years of personal emotional maturity.”
