I remember that in arguing with Piet Mondrian in Paris, 1920's, he opposed art to nature saying that art is artificial and nature is natural. I do not share this opinion. I do not think that nature is in natural opposition to art. Art's origins are natural.

I was born in Paris in the mid-1960s, and by the time I was 12 I had started going to the movies by myself. Most of the movies of that period never appealed to me.

When I think about the most exotic, beautiful places, Porto is at the front of my mind. It's incredible, man.
