I guess that my activities inspire people and that I offer opportunities without realising what is going to happen next.
I believe that the Belgians do possess some surrealistic gene.

In the daytime, you act the way you should act because that is what people pay you for, or want from you.
I travel all the time. I'm very restless you know.
I think that is a great, great thing, to create your own identity and foster a true family spirit.
