“At home, I was not that angry. The dog was safe, the dog is always safe. The amount of chocolate I needed was immense to go through the match again, to compensate.”

“You sit there in the middle of the night, and it is not nice. You start writing, writing, and writing.”

“You realise you are writing more and more, writing about more minutes in a certain way to explain things so that you don’t forget it.”

“At some point, you press the button to watch the match in double speed, just so it passes quicker. Then you know you’re not in a good place.”

“You have to stop and take a walk into the kitchen or the lounge. Then you come back and press play after you’ve calmed down.”
