I hope it’s going to galvanise Europe...
Does a fostering of community spirit within society, or individualism encourage creativity in artists? Creative collaboration has been instrumental in my career, so you could say that I've been fostering a kind of ‘community spirit’ even if it sometimes has been a community of two! But joking aside, individualism seems to be a must in a big star. That doesn't mean that the star has to be a diva. I've met many big stars who are as normal as me, but I think you can be an ‘individualist light’ in a society that fosters community spirit. Have you noticed a shift in EU politics following the most recent election in the US and can strong leadership and democracy ever work? Yes, I think that we've come to, or are beginning to come to, realise that America is not what it used to be. Awareness on every level. We've woken up to a reality where we have to defend ourselves without the help of the US. I hope it's going to galvanise Europe against autocracy and dictatorship. Yes, there are many examples of strong leaders (not strongmen) in democracies. But why would we want ‘strong’
leaders? Why not intelligent, empathetic, knowledgeable and efficient leaders? Why not intelligent, empathetic leaders?
