It was very liberating to be able to sing in English. It had a different resonance, different images. It was like being a stranger in a foreign land, which was helpful.

At the beginning it wasn't to do with the work, it was more the experience.

The more you turn down things, the more difficult it becomes to feel that the next one will be right.

The English was really my mother, it was never me. Being the daughter of my father, I always felt very French.

My father loved me and he wanted to work with me and he didn't care what people would say.

I don't feel I have to share everything.

I don't feel that I've accomplished anything. I feel that it'll be better when I won't care as much, but it's so difficult to let go and accept all the wrong notes.
