For those of you who dont know Andras Kepes, he is a guy thats.. lets say.. a journalist, tv personalty and so on.

Today I heard a story that he once had the opportunity to make an interview with Alan Delon. They went through all the usual questions.. career, best movie, future plans... jaba jaba jaba...

After about 20 minutes, Kepes broke the rules, and said:
-I figure you just hate interviews.. answering the same old questions each and every (f word) time, this must be boring you to hell. I have something else... If you could be anywhere else... where would you be?
Alan lightened up and said.
-I would be on a deserted island with cigars, my favourite drinks... sandy beach.. and Jacque, my friend.
Kepes was a little ohm.. confused, but he had to ask.
-Jacque is a male name, right? I mean its fine if you.. you .. you know, you are different.
-No no, I love women, I loved many over the years. - Alan replied. - But Jacque is my best friend. He is someone who has always been there through success, pain or sorrow, we just tend to have a good time always. The kind of "love" I have for him, I can never get from someone I am attracted to. Those come and go all the time.

I think Alan is right. Mutual understanding, respect and unconditional good will is what matters.


Márai also said something quiet remarkable... he said: For a good friendship you need a little physical antipathy.

Screw him, he was right :)
