I never get bored. There isn't enough time in the day for me.
— Francoise Hardy
In France, the image I had was of a shy girl - a poor lonely girl and not too good-looking. When I went to England, I had another image. I felt the journalists were much more interested in my looks than in my songs.
When I write, it is always the melody that comes first, and it just happens to be the case that the most beautiful tunes are sad, and the lyrics follow the mood of the melody.
I feel happy and secure when I'm on my bed with a good book... I forget everything which is terrible in our world.
