I was very attached to my family when my father died. I was 19. I was about to go live with my father right when he died, so it was very intense.

Letting go of things and not being afraid of being ridiculous or over the top - I think that's the main thing for me to work on.

It's difficult for me to write in English as it's not my first language, but French is even worse because of my father's influence and because the comparisons that I - not even other people - would make.

I think I developed a very closed personality. I didn't really have friends. I changed schools every year.

I used to hate being recognised.

I wasn't getting the responses I hoped for. You can't protect yourself from other judgments.

I don't want to feel that I'm a singer or an actress - being able to say that those are just experiences is what I enjoy.
