My only model for being a father was my father, an illiterate on the margin of society.

My unrealized ambition is to tend my vines, produce wine, and work like an artisan. I dream of rediscovering the old traditions and customs of wine growing, not necessarily to deny the technology which we have today, but to harness it and work in harmony with nature.

One of the advantages of my profession is I come into contact with many people.
