I didn't want to change my personality onstage, but I still had to build some kind of ego to be able to go up there. If not, there's no point.

It's more than a job. It's very personal, so when you're hurt, you're really hurt inside.

I'm desperate to work again. I've often had those periods, but two years was the longest.

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 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.

I thought people would ask me really personal questions because I've shown more of myself, but it's a comedy, and people understand that it's a game we play.

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.
