“I'm very severe with myself and sometimes I miss French cheese, but in your world it's not exactly the same thing.”

“I never touch sugar, cheese, bread... I only like what I'm allowed to like. I'm beyond temptation. There is no weakness. When I see tons of food in the studio, for us and for everybody, for me it's as if this stuff was made out of plastic.
