Always remember that the future comes one day at a time. Well, I think writing is basically about time and rhythm. Like with jazz. You have your basic melody and then you just riff off of it.

Most of the time it's the parents who recognise me. They try to tell their kids, 'Look, it's Giselle,' and I say, 'No, no, no, don't ruin this for them,' because I'm usually standing there with my hair sideways and no make-up on. And the kid is saying, 'That is not Giselle. No way. That is some worn-out girl who really needs a bath.' When I died my hair red the first time, I felt as if it was what nature intended.
