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

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 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."

Wanting to do it was much more powerful than the fright.

I was so lucky because I started working very young. And my father was very wealthy and I didn't need to work. I did my films.

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

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