It is unthinkable for a Frenchman to arrive at middle age without having syphilis and the Cross of the Legion of Honor. ↗

Our managers hadn't had that kind of success - the record company hadn't, we hadn't - and the feeling was that the next record had to be even bigger, and if it wasn't it would be some kind of failure. ↗

Too much money at a young age, it just takes your eye off the ball. And you're not as hungry as players used to be. You think you've made it before you've done anything. ↗
