I don't speak Arabic, I spoke it when I was very young, maybe around two or three years old, I understood it too. But, my parents divorced, I grew up in Belgium and I never spoke it again.

I imagine a lot of things -- men, women... the disconnect between people. As you can see, many people are totally disconnected from reality and the world, with social networks. I'm guilty myself. That was one of the inspirations. When I wrote the song, I talked about a 'screen,' for example, but I didn't necessarily think of iPhones, but after thinking about it, I tell myself that I'm talking about that. But I also talk about love, the love of the family, but also the love outside of this circle. From the moment you receive the love of a foreigner. From there your life sparkles, it really begins. The girls in the song don't sexually appeal to the boy, perhaps a bit, but that's not what it's about, it's that he begins to believe in life through this feeling.

“Many compare you to Jeff Buckley, I guess that must get boring in the long run?”

Khalil Gibran -- author of The Prophet. “He tells a lot about religion. I’m not really connected with religion, but he says things without telling you that, ‘if you don’t do it, you’ll go to hell’.” +from Maze: “He’s not dogmatic, he’s not one of those scary people. All sacred books scare people, and I’m not sure that guiding our actions by fear is a good thing. You have to improve yourself, make your life better but you have to want it, want it to be beautiful. I love when a writer certifies that he is not all-powerful, that he does not know everything.”
