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 spend a lot of time writing in New York.

I'm nothing more than what you actually see, but I am also the complete opposite.

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

I was in the studio so much, it was about the search for air in a metaphoric sense, and the breathing has more to do with travel for me, about the search musically for open air.

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.

I think it's very good to have regrets, to learn how to live with them.
