I need time to develop the idea into a plot before I talk about it.

None of great sages of China preached the precept of love as a guideline for human behavior.

Tis true, my form is something odd but blaming me, is blaming God, Could I create myself anew I would not fail in pleasing you.

I prefer consider Stromae as a collective project. Stromae is not me. Or at least it is not only me.
