Antony Gala it was genius, ingenuity, intelligence, sensitivity, grace, education, bad humor, culture, the street, vice and virtue all mixed together.
He was also one of the wittiest and most amusing men, over short distances, that I have ever met. He jumped in the hand. He had a quickness to find the right answer, the opportune or inopportune comment, the most brilliant and the dirtiest observation.
He went from sublime to mud in seconds. I could leave you speechless
erto with his elegant rhetoric or make you crack up with a brilliant quip. He had a naughty child’s laugh, because sometimes that was him. We interviewed him on all the television programs of
Jess Quintero
and never disappointed. We even dedicated 13 programs to it –
Thirteen nights with Antonio Gala
an impossible project in these times – for him to speak at length about the great topics: love, death, the meaning of life, the passage of time, power, money…
Quintero admired him deeply and whenever he started a new program he thought of
Gala
as one of its essential interviewees. She admired him, but also feared him. He said that he was a miura because he entered the rag no matter what you asked him, and more than once with the interviewer’s mess included.
I have only laughed at Gala’s anecdotes – like when she tried to get her driver’s license and a hundred more each more surreal. I didn’t really like it when she got puffed up, bombastic, and a bit cheesy. I liked him much more
Gala
scoundrel, merciless, destructive even of his own image, as was shown in the last interview we did with him in 2013.
The press published that he was dying and Jess decided that he could not leave this world without leaving us his living will in the form of an interview. We went to
Crdoba
to do the last interview in his
foundation
. Gala was superb, great. He destroyed all the myths, beginning with his own, in an act of lucidity and enviable honesty. But Gala did not die. He continued to live and even survived
Quintero
. Rest in peace, teacher.
(Y don
Antonio
He will answer me from the other side: Don’t call me a teacher, it disgusts me a lot).
