I've always been pleased with the investments I've made with my friend Albert Frere and I regret not having followed him more, because I would have been a lot richer.

I like that combination between creativity and the creative process and the organization needed to make a business like this successful worldwide.

I meet the designers very often, we discuss the products, they show me their ideas, we discuss the ad campaigns and every new invention that we can find for the future.

If you control your distribution, you control your image.

When I was working in my first job engineering construction, what I liked the most was working with architects and making buildings that had this creative side coming from the architect and that were making them a big success.

A good product can last forever.

I take time to get close to, and I don't immediately throw my arms round someone.
