    • Quotes
      [on Serge Gainsbourg] He was the only French singer with an attitude. When you turned on TV in France in the 1970s, he was the only guy who would refer to sex and alcohol and the meaningless life, so it was very appealing. He was the guy who makes you feel that it would be cool to be an adult.
