What was your first day in New York like when you arrived alone at sixteen years
old?
It was wonderful! It was real life which was beginning. I was very excited about
my flat just for me alone! But I realized I had to do the washing up and the
cooking (laugh) !
Your album is very interesting. Really Rock. Where did you take your strong
energy? Why did you choose that style of music?
I think Rock is...er... It's me!! I put all my problems in my songs, that's good
for me, I'm better after having written what I feel.

I feel good writing in the night. But I find new ideas anywhere, I have already
found a new idea while doing the washing up!

Are you still a child?
Oh! Yes! I want to remain a child, I love to do silly things as when I was a
teenager, it's great!
Are you a rebel?
I don't know, it's the media that gave me that label.
We've chosen this song, because this story of a boy and a girl is very simple
and nice. This is a very good lesson for us, for our lives. We must to listen to
ourselves, our heart and not to our friends, we mustn't let our friends decide
for us. Because in the song, the girl listen to her friends and refues to be
with the boy and later she is sad because she didn't listen to her heart. "Sk8er
boi" is very well written and we like the ryhthm of the song. The singer has a
nice voice, it's very nice to listen to her.
The song is a love story. He was a boy, she was a girl, she did ballet and he was a skaterboy. She wanted to go out with him but her friends told her, she was too good for him so she refused him. Five years later, she is alone and she has a baby and she thinks about the boy. One day, she sees him, he has become a Rockstar and all of the friends already have tickets for his concert. She would like to go back with him but he has already found another girlfriend and they have already written a song together about a girl he used to know.
He was a
boy
She was a girl
Can i make it any more obvious
He was
a punk
She did ballet
What more can i say
He wanted her
She'd never tell secretly she wanted him as well
But all of
her friends
Stuck up their nose
They had a problem with his
baggy clothes
He was a
skater boy
She said see you later boy
He wasn't good enough
for her
She had a pretty face
But her head was up in space
She needed to come back down to earth
5 years
from now
She sits at home
Feeding the baby she's all alone
She turns on tv
Guess who she sees
Skater boy rockin up
MTV
She calls up her friends
They already know
And
they've all got
Tickets to see his show
She tags along
Stands
in the crowd
Looks up at the man that she turned down
He was a
skater boy
She said see you later boy
He wasn't good enough
for her
Now he's a super star
Slamming on his guitar
Does
your pretty face see what he's worth?
He was a

Sorry
girl but you missed out
Well tough luck that boy's mine now
We
are more than just good friends
This is how the story ends
Too
bad that you couldn't see,
See the man that boy could be
There
is more that meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside
He's just
a boy
And Im just a girl
Can I make it any more obvious
We
are in love
Haven't you heard
How we rock eachothers world
I'm with
the skater boy
I said see you later boy
I'll be back stage
after the show
I'll be at the studio
Singing the song we
wrote
About a girl you used to know
I'm
with the skater boy
I said see you later boy
I'll be back
stage after the show
I'll be at the studio
Singing the song
we wrote
About a girl you used to know
