I
am very close to Johnny, and Vanessa worked with my father. They called
their daughter Lily Rose Melody, in reference to the album Histoire de
Melody Nelson (1971). We recorded the song in Los Angeles, in the
studio of Johnny Depp. It was he who makes the music. Few people know
this but, before becoming an actor, he was a musician. He is a very
good guitarist, he has an incredible collection of guitars. It's hard
to say this is my model because, over time, he has become a friend. He
is like a big brother. Masculine presence that I lack somewhere, he
filled. He listened to some tracks on the album and he said: "I love
you strongly and I am very proud of you."
