Everything is temporary. Everything is bound to end.

Well, I grew up between Holland and Israel and then moved to France when I was eleven.

When you record, you live with what you recorded for many many years, but when you play it's just an hour and a half and then once it's over it's over.

I like the idea of having a calm, quiet room to work on my [art] while knowing that outside there's noise and a lot happening. It's reassuring to know the 'everyday' continues even though inside the studio you feel so disconnected from it.

I think many experiences are bound to be failures, and sometimes I regret them before they even happen.

Sometimes you're trapped in writing songs and you don't have enough distance from what you do anymore and you need the talent and the years of other people to come and jump in.

I'm very attached to Paris because I have a base there and am also recording there, but New York is home to me when I'm in the U.S., because it's nice to have a bed to go back to.
