I'm trying my best to keep my private life guarded. It's not easy at all. Non, non, non.

My parents sent me to Montreal because I kept getting kicked out of school in France.

I stay in France. Better to be the queen of a village than a servant in a kingdom.

A charming fellow, and so clever: he models himself on me.

I believe in the law of attraction...I believe you can speak things into existence. When you know where you're going and you know what you want, the universe has a way of stepping aside for you.

I am working on my nightclub act, definitely want to do more singing.

He is my brother. She is my sister. Come what will, they are my kin.

Words are never 'only words'; they matter because they define the contours of what we can do.
