"Have you noticed how good people look at night?
Paris and Parisians grow bright and witty when the sun goes down - the bright, beautiful sun of the French capital - I fell in love with the people of the night. And by "Parisians", I mean all sorts of strange and exotic creatures - because Frenchie Parisians party, sure, but not in the same way as the rest of the city's party animals. These characters, of all different sexual orientations, have a ball and give themselves over to the night. The nights I enjoy are the ones gathering those who create and light up true Parisian nightlife, its characters, its intrigues, and at times, its filth.
'You know what? France sucks! It should be a giant museum of the night and the government can pay us as actors!' Thankfully, the night never has and never will cease to be a perpetual stage for different scenes. Idlers, artists, punks or dandies, they all tell stories of beauty, decadence. These digressions on places and people, extremely broad and inevitably incomplete, could go on forever, but the space on the page cannot. It is thus pointless to talk about what happens in the houses of the city outskirts from the wee hours of the night until morning, for days on end.
My muses may not be yours, my monsters may not please you."
