What is my greatest extravagance?
Hush! It’s a secret!

A little less impatience…

What is my greatest success at work?
It’s yet to come…

What is my most precious possession?
My health!

Energy!

Where in my city do I find the most inspiration?
The old town of Nice, but right at the top of the maze of little-known streets, where there are hardly ever any tourists…

Where is my favourite place to eat and drink in my city?
It varies a lot, but I’d say Chez Cane for the authenticity of Nice cuisine, and Chez Davia for its mastery of taste.

What books have influenced my life and how?
“A Man” by Oriana Fallaci. It recounts the life of her companion, Aléxandros Panagoúlis, from the failed assassination attempt on 13 August 1968 on the leader of the colonels’ dictatorship, Geórgios Papadópoulos, to his death and the demonstrations that followed in May 1976.
I told myself when I was very young that I would only marry such a brave man… I never got married!

You only die once. What music would I listen to on the last day of my life?
Iggy Pop: The Passenger, or the Rolling Stones : Sympathy for the devil.

All of Peter Greenaway’s films.

They’re wrong! You are the actor in your own life.
