I really don't know anything about music, and it's no great experience for me. But I do think that music has a purifying element.

Do people really want liberty, equality, fraternity? Is it not some manner of speaking?

I have one good characteristic: I'm a pessimist, so I always imagine the worst - always. To me, the future is a black hole.

For me optimism is two lovers walking into the sunset arm in arm. Or maybe into the sunrise - whatever appeals to you.

If I have a goal, then it is to escape from this literalism. I'll never achieve it; in the same way that I'll never manage to describe what really dwells within my character, although I keep on trying.

I like chance meetings - life is full of them. Every day, without realising it, I pass people whom I should know.
