I have a few properties, some in the U.K., some in the States, some in Kosovo. It's a nice little empire - I'm trying to create something so my family can be all right.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I want to buy up a gang of properties in my neighborhood and give people the chance to live in new buildings. We should make our areas nice.
I have two grandchildren. I want to hand them a planet and community that is really thriving.
In my life, I've had estates in Russia, houses in Spain, in Norway, in the deep south of America.
I want my children to live in the country, to be a part of nature.
I'm tired of being considered property.
I want to create a foundation, like a maison, in my home in the Marais. I am going to leave everything there. I am only passing through. I'm not a proprietor of anything, even if I have homes and things.
One of the things I would love for people to think about is social responsibility. If you are fortunate enough to be someone who owns land, I think you ought to be making the most efficient use of that land possible.
I want my home to look good, feel good, and smell good. I want it to be inclusive, to reflect the people who live there.
I do mostly British projects, and for family reasons and life reasons Britain's my home, where I have a lovely garden.
I try to create homes, not houses.
