“I was called a utopist, but I was always seeing the reality of what I can do.”
“I love to ride horses and to come to Arles on Saturdays, drink pastis with the men and genuinely try to say what I believe in and think.
“I’d like to see a change in the mentalities that allows a real movement, because I think we are here and now in the capacity of changing things.”
