Is there a character who influenced you?
All. Absolutely all!

Is there a character you would have liked to play for children?
I did a children’s show for years, The Resourceful, and it was a privilege and a pleasure. That said, I would have liked to be part of the family of Air Sentinels and play in Tarzan.
What world would you like to introduce to children?
That of music, but also that of science.
In closing, what do you think of today’s children’s TV?
There are few left. It is much more formatted and there is probably less creativity. But at the same time, there are a lot of fantastic animated films in addition toElena of Avalor, Carmen Sandiego, Miraculous: The Adventures of Ladybug and Cat Noirall Disney princesses, Nickelodeon productions, PJ Masks, etc.
