  • « Holiday? Is like, what? I'm a hyperactive girl, so it may be boring for me to be on the beach doing nothing. I just need to find a place for three weeks and work but sleep in the morning, maybe write a little bit, have a glass of red wine. That's my perfect holiday. »
    Melanie Laurent
  • « It's funny recently I've started to notice people's impersonations of me, and it's basically like a hyperactive child. »
