I love the musicality of English. French sounds flat. In English, you can play with pitch.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
English is really free for me; there's no limits to the music and the imagination. And French, it's just I live in Paris, and it's really a poetic language where you can really play with words.
I really like acting in French. It's actually quite different for me, from acting in English. It's fun acting in a foreign language. You're liberated or freed from preconceptions.
The whole process of music for me is something absolutely honest and really naked and bare, so I never forced myself to write in French.
I just love dialects; they're really fun.
Even if I think in English, it's more a language of acting than French.
The more English is heard in the world, the more gratifying it seems to speak French, and above all to know the culture of our country. They find a kind of French social grace in the language and culture.
I've been learning French a bit through my work with Longchamp, and I've been in France quite a lot. And I really love how they express themselves. I especially love when something is untranslatable.
The English may not like music, but they absolutely love the noise it makes.
I like to listen to French radio; I'm trying to learn French.
French is, in many ways, more difficult for an English-speaking person to sing. It is so full of complex and trying vowels. It requires the utmost subtlety.
