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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love the musicality of English. French sounds flat. In English, you can play with pitch.
When I started writing, the first thing that came out was in English. I liked a few French things, but they were very overwhelming.
Realistically, English is a universal language; it's the number one language for music and for communicating with the rest of the world.
For me, French is so rich and so sacred that learning it is like learning a foreign language.
I look for poetry in English because it's the only language I read.
I've always loved English and loved English music and TV shows.
Viewed freely, the English language is the accretion and growth of every dialect, race, and range of time, and is both the free and compacted composition of all.
I don't feel restricted by the language: I feel more free.
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.
In the French language, there is a great gulf between prose and poetry; in English, there is hardly any difference. It is a splendid privilege of the great literary languages Greek, Latin, and French that they possess a prose. English has not this privilege. There is no prose in English.
