children
My children are grown now, they are more independent.
children years only-child
I was an only child until I was 11 years old, which is when my sister was born. So for 11 years, it was just me.
children want my-children
I mostly want to be friends with my children.
mom jobs children
My job makes me travel a lot and too often I'm away from my children, but I don't ever stop being a mom inside my head and my heart. There is no higher love than that.
ground since
It has been extraordinary, wonderful, I've been three feet off the ground since I made that first record.
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.
