What are you listening to lately?

Today: the last album of Supergrass, some of Margo Guryan's love songs, Stereolab, and Nouvelle Vague - a French album of 80's hits sung by young female singers under the direction of Marc Collin. I listen to a lot of different things without any real culture of it, just what I feel I like.

Order anything, what'll you have?

Right now - baked apples ! But I quickly change my mind when it's about food.

What about a drink with that?

With baked apples? Hydromel.

Best movie ever?

I have a very long list of 'my best movies'. I'm not comfortable with a closed list, but some that come to mind if I have to quote are Brazil, Short Cuts, Touch of Evil and 2001 A Space Odyssey.

Best book, can you choose?

One that really marked me is 'The World According to Garp' by John Irving and also 'Lorenzacio' by Musset. I'm still not comfortable with a closed list. I would like to mention so many books, I love books like they are friends, they accompany my movements, my travels.

Where have your travels taken you?

Recently Japan, Thailand, Czechoslovakia and Morocco. I hope in many other countries in the future.

Do you have a favorite scent?

One I'm thinking about is a new box of coffee, just opened. The smell of the fresh powder, it's like drug. My nose is really sensitive to scent, perfume, it's very important for me, but not directly useful for my job.

I hate to ask, but what about color?

It depends on the mood.

Sorry about the color question, let me buy you flowers!

A daisy of course, it's the direct translation of me.

Do you have time for hobbies?

Not really, but each year I promise myself I will.

Collect anything interesting?

Everything about otters.

What did you do in a past life?

I studied law and was a theater usher.

Who or what are you inspired by?

Everyday life.

Do you have a favorite artist?

Far too many to mention.
