In France the music schools are a bit old fashioned. I was more excited about doing my own stuff or to play with my friend in my band, than studying the piano.

When I'm working in the studio, I like to be on my own because I don't know where I'm going; I want to be completely free to spend lots of time on songs.

I started making music with my band in the '80s, so I am more product of post punk than classical music, and I have always carried on this way.

I was excited to make my own 'Neverland.'

When I'm playing with the band or playing with some projects or some of my own stuff it's about the musical approach. That would be the more turntablist approach to things of where it's strictly about music.

Lately though I've been in love with myself and I've become my own best friend.
