ground since
It has been extraordinary, wonderful, I've been three feet off the ground since I made that first record.
children
My children are grown now, they are more independent.
patience inspiration want
My mum told me to have patience. It's about realising that when things aren't going the way you want them to, or you don't have inspiration, it will come.
energy youth
Youth is a question of energy.
garden paris barbecue
I was born in a suburb of Paris, and I grew up there until I was 16, so there were always a lot of barbecues, a garden, friends.
chic
It amuses me when I'm described as 'chic.'
jobs thinking lucky
We [actors] are so lucky to do jobs that fulfill us and make us happy. We don't go to work thinking okay, we're working to put food in the fridge. We are doing that too, but we're working because we love what we do.
hard-work actors want
[When you are an actor] it's not a burden to go to work whether it's hard work, whether it's super early work, whatever. So, I go there because I want to be there. I want to do this. That helps a lot.
childhood fantastic repeats
How many times do I have to repeat this: my childhood was fantastic.
good-lyric terrible my-own
I'd rather sing a good lyric written by someone else than one of my own that is terrible.
rain fall mean
'Singin' in the Rain' was the one for me. Yeah. I mean, Gene Kelly could just sway and never fall. He'd just sway and sway as he danced.
art might form
There are forms of art that I might not like to do myself, but I still have respect for the artists who create it.
girl essence people
People don't get through to the essence of you right away - it's always the famous 'girl' or the famous 'girlfriend'. I'd rather be known for myself.
atheism no-fear bad-things
No fear... we are never sure of anything... fear never prevents [bad things] from happening.
