There are so many bands always doing the same album over and over; I want to evolve, try new things.

You just have to be adventurous and that's the way I like to work. I think that's the role of the artist, to do something difficult, doing it first for himself. That's my definition of sincerity.

Sometimes when you record an album in the end, there are things here and there you regret production wise or in composition.

I always tried to make a diverse album in terms of emotions and sounds.

Sometimes people think that that you are going softer, or you are going mainstream, but that's not true. It's way more true to change your style.

It's always good to go from a heavy song to a softer one. It helps having the attention of the audience for the whole show - three hours of the same songs for the whole show is boring.

It was always a great challenge: how can I make a dreampop album that's still very Alcest, but not a ripoff - how to keep the core.

Marriage must incessantly contend with a monster that devours everything: familiarity.

An honest man will continue to be so though surrounded on all sides by rogues.

Why not? Why not?Why not not, then, if the best reasoning you can contrive is why not?

The work I enjoy is when the camera rolls, and I like the work in the moment.

This extraordinary group has absolutely captivated my imagination, knocked my socks off - what more can I say?

Happy endings make me puke.

To be thought rich is as good as to be rich.

No one can ever help loving anyone.
