Too much 01 2003
Lolita with soft skin

Alizée: "I spot the interested boys very quickly!"

After conquering Europe, Alizée is finally coming back with the first single from her new album. "I'm fed up," the lolita sings to us. Not to us, in any case, nor to all her fans who have waited impatiently for her. Too Much! met her just for you in a big Parisian hotel...

Media
How do you live with the promotion at your age?
A: In the beginning it was difficult. I was told: you have to do a maximum of interviews. One day I had 17 interviews all day long. At the end, I couldn't do it anymore. I was dead, my brain stopped functioning. I was a little grumpy. I said that I would do as many interviews as they wanted, but a minimum per day. And now I'm used to it.

Interviews
How are your interviews done?
A: It's never really the same. Sometimes, there are surprises, that I wasn't expecting. Often there are the same questions. I answer them, it becomes a habit. It's part of my job.

Europe
And with the European journalists, it went well?
A: It was OK. They were very kind. Their questions weren't really much different from the ones that they asked me in the beginning in France. But in general they were pretty nice.

How did you do with the languages?
A: I had a translator who translated the questions and translated my answers for me. Otherwise, in all the countries where I had a TV appearance, I learned how to say "Hello" and "Goodbye" in each language.

Single
You said you're single?
A: Yes, I'm single. From time to time I have a boyfriend, but nothing serious. With the career that I have, I don't have the time. I do what I like, and after that, we'll see. If one day that must come, well, it will come.

You don't miss having someone?
A: Frankly I don't miss it that much. I don't think about it. I don't tell myself: "I'm all alone in the world." If I have a boyfriend, it's good, if I don't have one, it's not a problem.

Stardom
The life that you lead is for something then?
A: Yes, a little, I'm moving all the time, I travel a lot for my job so it's not always easy. In fact this kind of situation is especially hard for the person who is staying behind, not for the person who is leaving.
