Zitat des Tages von Thomas Mars:
The idea is not to please the most amount of people. Growing up in Versailles, the idea was to please the least amount of people.
Growing up in Versailles is like growing up in a museum, and the people living there are almost the security.
There are different kinds of artists: the ones that inspire you, and the ones that overwhelm you.
When I started writing, the first thing that came out was in English. I liked a few French things, but they were very overwhelming.
Some amazing records have this power to leave you with inspiration; you're left with the urge to write something. And some records are totally overwhelming, because they are so good, they burn the bridges behind them.
I think every artist needs a rule that's stupid but that helps him, like a deadline would.
I'm a lazy guy. I can't focus for too long. I'd rather hear a record that has no filler.
It's hard to write new stuff when the songs you have written before are still changing and evolving. It would be like building something when the foundations there are not really solid.
My favorite albums are really short.
