"But when I started to analyse what made me happy or not, I understood that she was not the person with who I wished to collaborate.

"She is nice when you are alone with her, but when you work for her, she can be very nasty. She is with people she employs. I didn't want to be tortured.

"I don't have anything against difficulties, but that would have been unpleasant. I would not have had fun. There is cruelty in her."
