“Music is like my secret garden. It's where I heal myself from every pa...” — Jain Quote

Music is like my secret garden. It's where I heal myself from every pain that I feel. It's like a therapy.

My favourite place was in The Congo. It's where I began to write songs and build myself as an adult.

I'm from the Southwest, and in the Southwest of France, you're not supposed to love Paris.

At 16 I was living in the Congo, and, you know, it's your teenage time. I really wanted to find a way to express myself, so I started to write songs in the Congo, and I think that's why my music is quite open, with a lot of different influences.

Going to the U.A.E. for the first time was a real cultural shock. Everything was different. People didn't speak my language, it was all new, a huge change. But I loved it.

I love playing at Madison Square Garden.

There are pictures of me in the garden at the age of one with a little plastic club. I had no concept of golf but I loved hitting the ball. I could do it all day. Only when I got to five was I playing every day though.

I would love to fight at Madison Square Garden.

I go five steps in the garden, and I immediately lose track of time... it is a kind of joy in being alive in being in the world. I always found that in the garden. That is what it means to me.

At each moment, a poem might grow into a totally different shape. It is not so much like working in a garden. It is more as if you remade the garden every day.
