I went on television and I wouldn't say a word; I feel so stupid when I watch them again.

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.

I have ideas of subjects and atmospheres that I love. I either want to go in a tougher, stronger direction or do the opposite: simple ballads.

You don't even need the director's judgement. It's too much.

In France, you're with the crew, and you have lunch with them. It's more like a family.

Style for me is a casual way of putting something on. It's not thought out but needs to suit your way of life. Now I like wearing the same sweater over and over again, then taking it off when it's smelly.

I started so old, so the touring world will always be a foreign land for me. I'll never be someone who's "been on the road."
