What time do you wake up every morning? I get up early, but I wake up at 10am or 11am. Years ago, a student said to me: "First thing in the morning, instead of teaching, you're embarrassing".
What is your best moment of the day? In general, the evening talk show.
Your favourite film? Many. In terms of cinema, like everything else.
Which historical figure would you go to dinner with? With Jesus to explain the parables to me.
What would you eat at your last meal? Something light, to keep an eye on what comes next.
A phrase that has left its mark on you? There are two: "Always rejoice to make others happy" and "Let not those who are not children of God be happy".
What has been the best thing about your time at Gaztelueta? Seeing the kids enjoying themselves at theatre rehearsals and festivals.
Which event do you remember most fondly? The get-together with St Josemaría in '72. It was also my 40th birthday.
With whom would you watch a sunset under this mast? With the group of teachers I met when I arrived and who taught me that the children should be helped to be sincere and cheerful, to pray and not to step on the grass.
