“The imperfections ? Of course it’s good!”
“I got used to Serge’s death [Gainsbourg] for 30 years. But by dint of seeing the photos and the memories, I would not have thought that his absence would still be so painful.
“Why don’t we put the paintings of the Louvre on the walls of hospitals ? There would be Rembrandts to contemplate when you wait for results on stretchers…”
“It’s hard to live with Gainsbourg, but who wants easy? It’s boring.”
“There was no ceremony for Serge’s death, there was no Church, there were no heads of state when we buried him. But he there was a popular desire.”
