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

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

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'm always on a train or a plane, so wherever I happen to be is home.

So usually even if you like a sentence or a story or something, it won't come out that way - it'll come out years later, and in a different way, and you don't really control that.

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.
