About Vanessa Paradis: Vanessa Chantal Paradis is a French singer, model and actress.
It has been extraordinary, wonderful, I've been three feet off the ground since I made that first record.
I was an only child until I was 11 years old, which is when my sister was born. So for 11 years, it was just me.
I could sing in English before I could understand it because I phonetically learned it from the musicals.
It's difficult when you want it all.
I mostly want to be friends with my children.
I am a complete sentimentalist when it comes to clothes. I have so many memories attached to them that I can't throw anything out.
I was born in a suburb of Paris, and I grew up there until I was 16, so there were always a lot of barbecues, a garden, friends.
I was for sure not prepared for fame when it happened.
My children are grown now, they are more independent.
My daughter loves singing above all else.
It amuses me when I'm described as 'chic.'
You know, when I eat three peas, I'm pregnant. When I visit a city, I'm buying a house.
When I started to record, I could sing in pitch, but that was maybe about it.
The red carpet is not something I really know how to work. It intimidates me. I feel very tiny.
I hate, for example, whenever you hear someone say, 'You have work at being a couple.'
