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.

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.

It is not enough to have a talented designer; the management must be inspired too. The creative process is very disorganised; the production process has to be very rational.

When you are on the management side, you still have to understand the artistic sensibility so that there is a dialogue with the creative side.

A good product can last forever.

From time to time, the Vienna Philharmonic could play without a conductor because they are so good.

Oh, I was brought up in the north of France, and I had a very enjoyable childhood with my family working as entrepreneur.
