I like the light that comes off metal shutters at siesta time in the summer, having a break from driving in the shops at motorway services, the odour of petrol at petrol stations, rolling down little slopes. I hate it when you tread in a puddle and the water soaks your socks.

Charm is more valuable than beauty. You can resist beauty, but you can't resist charm.

I don't want to think my life as a career.

I never want to do the same things twice. I like surprises.

After each experience, you grow up, you get enriched with something, and you don't know how you're going to be in six months, you don't know what you're going to want, what you're going to need.

I've never sent a Tweet. I think I have an account but I don't know who runs it. I've never done one in my life.

I really like to discover a new culture, a new country, a new rhythm of living. I really, really like that. I think that's the most enriching thing, for my nature, because I like the psychology of people.
