I always wanted to know what I'd face next, even though that was maybe a bit detrimental to spontaneity. Structuring my life and avoiding chaos was more important.

For me, it is always important that I go through all the possible options for a decision.

Never before in my political life have I been taken so seriously as woman,

I have a relatively sunny spirit, and I always had the expectation that my path through life would be relatively sunny, no matter what happened. I have never allowed myself to be bitter.

My life at the moment is a bit like my wardrobe. Organized chaos.

Strengthen the CDU — that is important, because we want to be able to put a strong signature on the next government.
