I used to hate being recognised.

I felt that people would criticize everything. I was so scared about playing Paris. I was very much aware that the greatest concerts my father and mother had done were there. I was sure people would be very tough.

I was very well paid for my age, and I could make choices, decide not to do a film for six months and wait until I'd get the right thing. Which made me quite a coward.

I hope I'll consider my next part, having learnt from this one.

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

I wish I could just accept that I'm not that good and not be shy about the fact that I'm not that professional.

With a film you go with the script that's already written. And I've never thought of a project, a film that would come from my own desire. I don't think I can do it. I need someone else's desire to be able to do something. With a record, it is completely different, it's a collaboration with another artist, but I'm willing to go into intimate places with no masks on.
