I am fascinated by what is beautiful, strong, healthy, what is living. I seek harmony.

I want to see, that's all. This is my life. I want to see.

Reality doesn't interest me.

Through my optimism I naturally prefer and capture the beauty in life.

I feel as though I have lived many lives, experienced the heights and depths of each and like the waves of the ocean, never known rest. Throughout the years, I have looked always for the unusual, for the wonderful, for the mysteries at the heart of life.

I set about seeking a thread, a theme, a style, in the realm of legend. Something that might allow me to give free rein to my juvenile sense of romanticism and the beautiful image.

The applause was so loud and insistent that I had to respond with several encores. I was numb with happiness, when it was over, I knew that this alone must be my life and my world.
