Time passes and time passes and stays with you physically, no matter how much Botox you get. I mean, it shows. Let's stop being silly. All those things we do to ourselves, show. They show and disfigure us. We have other things going on. No matter how old we are, our bodies start to wear out. My dad used to say that. My dad used to tell me, my little girl, the body is wearing itself out, but the mind is complete. That's what matters. That's what needs to be nourished. That's what needs to be nourished. You have to learn new things all the time. You have to challenge yourself. That's what keeps you mentally. Well, Yes, but the body. Look, I exercise an hour and a half a day, and I don't look 30. Uh, I look 66. I have all of them. Okay, so let's not get carried away. Let's stop telling ourselves lies. Eva, is there a conversation that they haven't dared to record yet? Oh, there must be a lot. A lot. Still, we still try not to talk so much about ourselves. Yes. At least I still don't feel comfortable. Yes. With going out into the window. I mean, not yet. No. Someone used to tell me it's one thing to go out into the window and another thing to stand on the edge of the window. No, they are two very different things. I don't know. But look, my book. I believe that there is nothing more vulnerable than that. There is nothing more. Do you agree? But anyway, don't think that talking about myself is that comfortable for me. Yes, I agree with you. I feel comfortable with you. But the idea of this coming out to others, I don't think about it much. Yes. I mean, don't think that I am very entertained by the idea of those who are listening to me. I am talking to you. Yes. Like when I am talking to Diana on the podcast. If I am not thinking much about myself outside, this is still difficult for me. Yes. Yana, what do you think the project is for the next 12 months?
