- Is this humanitarian action is related to their beliefs? Are you practicing?
— Yes, the truth is yes. I received a Catholic education, the most traditional. That message of Christ has influenced me since my childhood. We try to return a hundredfold benefits we have received. Think of others, helping others. I strongly believe in this idea of giving of yourself.
—Do you feel that in today's world there is a loss of religious meaning?
—Religion has been replaced by the media. Before religion dictated the notions of good and evil. Trembled before the priest, the confessor or the parents. Now, people give a damn about that. They tend to tremble at the idea that their action will be frowned upon by the newspapers or on television.
—Are the means for new teachers of morality?
—Yes. It is a shame because the religious have a sense of understanding and forgiveness, which means do not. Therefore, perhaps it is time to go back to being a bit more religious, to express more compassion.
—Do not you miss our time greats to admire?
—At least there is the Abbé Pierre, who is France's most beloved character. Thankfully. That is reassuring.
Do you think that too much media coverage is at the origin of the decreased number of great figures and heroes?
—This excessive media coverage worries me a bit. Prevents people dream their dreams. Do nothing but dream the other, which the media give them. That leaves very little room for imagination. We are all individuals, we are all unique. Are being removed all lifestyles, ways of dressing, eating, the notion of uniqueness of the individual. I tell my children when they are an entire afternoon watching television, 'You have not done anything all that is yours, make it personal. If you had picked up a book, listened to a disc, you would have had an original entertainment that you only belong to you '. We must continue to be individuals, not to follow the tide.
