However, if the interviewer said, "Trois ans de silence, ce n'est pas trop longtemps?" (which really isn't even a question) and Alizée disagreed, she would say, "Si, ça fait longtemps..."

Not sure if that helped at all, but the "non" at the end of the question here doesn't really make the sentence negative.
Alright, thanks TDM, that did help. The sentance wasn't really a question except for the "non" added to the end, so I was confused as to whether it would be considered positive or negative. Thanks for clearing that up.
