One of my favorite French singers, Alain Bashung, was the expert at creating his own universe; no one knows what he's talking about, even he doesn't know because it's so poetic.

In an ideal world people would know the words just for the show and then forget them right after.

In France, anyone can use your music on like a TV show or whatever - they don't need to ask permission. It's almost like a child when it has its own life.

In France a lot of songs were ruined by their associations with commercials. But so far no Apple commercial has ruined a song for me.

I discovered that a lot of the songs I like, they're fantasies, a vision of something, but you don't actually live there.

The basics of acting are really better in America than in Europe. Just the basic "fake laugh" is impossible to get in France.

The more you say no the more people ask.
