You know why the Gallic rooster is a national symbol of France as a nation? Because that’s the only animal that can sing while standing in the shits. I always liked this attitude of French people. However, there are masses on the far right side, on the far left side (you can even meet Trotskyists you won’t find in Russia anymore), once I passed through the protesters asking for the revival of the 3rd or 4th republic… so I guess, pretty much everyone there might have a reason to be unhappy and pessimistic.

Are you optimistic about the future of the world?

The french may know something... Adults know what they did to the planet and the debt they leave to the next generations. Youngsters are still learning about it. Children are even more optimistic (in general). The more you live and learn the more pessimistic you get. It makes sense.
