We all have common frailties but we need to treasure friends more.
Being French, to me, is first and foremost being a revolutionary.
I have to wear clothes but I don't like to give an idea of what I am with clothes.
I like to be fascinated by the people I photograph. Sometimes I don't admire them but I'm interested in them.
I prefer to play and lose rather than win, because I know in advance I'm going to win.
I see the world become so uniform. Everybody has to be the same. I like people who are different.
I feel close to the rebelliousness of the youth here. Perhaps time will seperate us , but nobody can deny that here, behind the windows of Manchester, there is an insane love of football, of celebration and of music.
I am very mistrustful of people who are constantly over intellectualising things. It kills passion. You have to allow yourself to lose control from time to time.
I apologize for nothing.
I am searching for abstract ways of expressing reality, abstract forms that will enlighten my own mystery.
When people are talking about you, it means that you exist.
Those who hate or disrespect Sir Alex Ferguson , its only because he snatched away their dreams of winning.
Socrates worked towards making people question themselves. He like to provoke self-interrogation but wasn't particularly interested in the answers that emerged; he just like to set off the thought process.
It's my country but I don't want to know about France - I was born there but I feel English.
