You are often compared to Edith Piaf, then to Mireille Mathieu. What do you think about it? Who are your idols?
Famous singer Patricia Kaas: my idol is Marley Dietrich! It seems to me that we are similar in appearance. But Dietrich's character is completely different from mine. She's too cold, and I'm a warm person. I respect both Mireille Mathieu and Edith Piaf, on whose plates I grew up. To some extent, they also helped me become a person.
You are touring a lot. Are there moments of weakness when you want to quit?
Patricia. Of course, sometimes I get tired, but the thought that people bring light, do not give a whimper.
I do not have hysterics and nervous breakdowns. Do not forget that I am the daughter of a miner. I never saw my father in a bad mood, although his life was very difficult. This trait was passed on to me.
How did the idea of cooperation between the famous singer Patricia Kaas and the Russian band Uma2rmaN originate?

Is there anything in your life that you regret?
Patricia. Sometimes I want my mom and dad to be with me. They would be happy to see me like this ...
What kind of concert halls do the famous singer Patricia Kaas like - huge scenes or small nightclubs? Can you sing, say, in a restaurant?
Patricia. I do not care where to perform. For large sites, I have one program, for theatrical scenes - another, for clubs - the third. I can sing in restaurants. I have songs for all occasions!
I wonder if you have unsuccessful performances?
Patricia. I am a responsible and hardworking person, and this is some guarantee of success. I do not have unsuccessful performances. My whole career is good luck.
And the eighth place in Eurovision - is that also luck?
Patricia. Of course! After all, what a show it was! 126 million viewers watched my performance and gave high marks. Yes, it's luck!
You often change your image - from the cutesy Parisian to the female vamp. Describe your current image.
Patricia. I am the way I am. Sometimes I'm fatal, sometimes I behave like a girl. In general, like any woman, I have many faces. And these are not masks, as some think, but a state of mind.
How does your pet Tequila feel? (Beloved singer's lapdog).
Patricia. Tequila feels great! She's my real friend. Waiting for me in the evenings, does not ask tactless questions and does not demand to stop singing for the sake of love for her.
Famous singer Patricia Kaas loves expensive clothes, chocolate and oddly enough, cigars. Yes, Patricia is smoking. She considers this to be her main flaw and can not decide to quit smoking. The main meaning of life for women, Patricia believes that the entire female sex is simply obliged to monitor their appearance. Do not regret it, neither money, nor time. Everything is achieved through love for oneself, respect. Patricia herself like any other woman likes to sit for hours at the mirror, try on new dresses and test face masks and scrubs. Patricia never did Botox and other plastic surgeries in her life, all her dignity - a skin that, oddly enough, looks younger than Patricia herself. Also for the French singer are all the colors of lipsticks and almost all tonal products - because she has unusual eyes and skin color. Patricia Kaas is a real idol of beauty and fashion for many women and men. Lover of exoticism, she dreams to visit all countries of the world.
