There are indications that today the intellectuals are coming back to [Albert] Camus. History has given them reason to, with the fall of communism.

The Outsider isn't [Albert] Camus, but in The Outsider there are parts of Camus. There's this impression of exile.

[Albert Camus] always held a profound commitment [engagement], a real resistance to all totalitarianism.

Of course, [Albert Camus] wasn't an existentialist, but he was a committed man. He was a man of combat. It wasn't for nothing that he directed the Resistance journal called Combat.

I think for [Albert] Camus his mother was more than just that. She's love, absolute love. That's why it's written for her, dedicated to 'you who will never be able to read this book'.

I think [Albert] Camus felt very solitary. You can see it in all his books.

I think for an artist what is most important is to touch as many hearts as possible.

[Albert Camus] was completely intransigent, and that's not at all a neutrality. It's combat, it's a man who involved himself, committed himself.

[Albert Camus] is The First Man because he is poor, which has never been much to human beings.

Where [Albert Camus] is in exile isn't especially in Paris or elsewhere, but from the intellectual world, because of his origins.

It's true that women appear very little in [Albert Camus] works. They have a very marginal place.

The only limits for tomorrow are the doubts we have today.

There is no substitute for the strength that blesses a couple when they work together.

Character builds on characters. Very few recognised them as a character, others should look for it until they get one.

A Sufi is one who is not bound by anything nor does he bind anything

Probably any successful career has "X" number of breaks in it and maybe the difference between successful people and those who aren't superachievers is taking advantage of those breaks.

It is so much in the nature of men to overreach and deceive one another, that their very sports and plays are founded on that principle.

What I love about my husband is that he really allows me to be the best person I can.

If you write songs and if you write music that's very sincere and very honest, it's pop music, but it is pop music with a lot of honesty and a lot of heart.

Is there any person in the world who does not dream? Who does not contain within them worlds unimagined?

I hope people get genuine joy from our music.
