	Firstly, to say what a great honour this is for me and to say to the Minister how much I appreciate not only the conferring of this honour but also that we were able to meet and speak together very freely and with a great deal of feeling about the arts. It is important for me to say that to receive a high award from a country with such a profound and rich cultural history as France is a distinct honour and it is no exception to say that I feel very humbled. So I want thank the people of France, not just on my own behalf, but on behalf of my country. » more
