It was an hour and a half plane ride, so I slept. I try to sleep because that's probably the only time I get to get my real sleep. When I can't sleep I read books or watch movies.

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.

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

I spend a lot of time writing in New York.

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