And so much the better because, no offense to my detractors, I’m fine!“However, Patrick Sébastien can still change his mind, as he says himself:”However, it is not excluded that I will succeed one day. If the ending is too hard, I won’t procrastinate long. My life has not been a feast of champagne and caviar to end with a poor tasteless compote and a stale madeleine! The day when I can no longer eat, kiss and laugh, so hello! I’m lucid, I see my friends leave, and then I reach 70 brushes even if, in my face, I still have 25!“For now, no dark thoughts in sight, therefore.
