When I started writing, the first thing that came out was in English. I liked a few French things, but they were very overwhelming.

Growing up in Versailles is like growing up in a museum, and the people living there are almost the security.

I think every artist needs a rule that's stupid but that helps him, like a deadline would.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

This sounds really cheesy and weird, but the pitbull is a sweet animal that just wants love until it's provoked - that's kind of how I've lived my life, too.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.
