My painting teacher in high school used to say, 'I can't paint like I want to, but through practice I'll get better.' But I don't think that's true. I think sometimes you just can't paint.
I defy anyone - and I have said this to the Germans - to build a solid, articulated, and viable Europe without France's consent.
I had to learn everything about manufacturing, patents and how to run a business, and eventually I came up with an prototype that worked.
