Charles Aznavour Quotes

I always ask painters to do my posters, unless there isn�t enough time. I hardly know Bernard Buffet, but I like his painting, I�ve got a few pictures by him... It�s really his wife, Annabelle, I know, I used to work with her... in the same night-club. It was she who was my intermediary. I�m delighted with the result, even though some have criticised it, found it too dark, too sad... This poster is tremendous.
Charles Aznavour 

Whenever I start doing something new, I say to myself that I should have had a fortnight to get myself in the right frame of mind. But here I am, I�ve just come back from filming in Portugal, I�m promoting the tour, I�m involved with an association for disabled children in Lille [north of France], I�m dining with the Armenian President, who has just received an honorary doctorate at the Sorbonne... It�s a tiring life, but I live very healthily, nothing to excess. For the last week, I�ve only had one glass of red wine with lunch, my only meal of the day, one course, no dessert. Afterwards, when the tour has begun, I relax the diet. With my wife, we take all our meals in restaurants. Preferably Italian or French. Otherwise, one of the great pleasures of touring is discovering new ones. I never go anywhere without my two bibles, one in each hand: the Michelin guide and the Gault Millau. And I check them against each other.
