LILY-ROSE DEPP

Translated from French

If I say “mom” to you, what comes to mind? Love. Comfort. My mom, being a mom: the basics. Being a mom is my favorite thing in the world. To be with them, to be with my children . They are exceptional.

Is it strange to see your daughter, Lily-Rose Depp, become famous as a model and actress? No, maybe it was weird at first because, like me, she started young. First, we wonder in which direction it will go. But very quickly I was reassured: she is talented, solid, solar, and she works a lot. The secret is work. The talent, the luck, yes, of course, but it is the work that wins. We make mistakes, we start over, we drool over it, but in the end it’s so rewarding to build something … My parents raised me this way.
