Vanessa Paradis enjoys silence

Vanessa Paradis loves the quietness of long-haul flights.

The singer spends most of her time between her native Paris and Los Angeles. She needs to be in Los Angeles, to take care of her two children that go to school. Lily-Rose (15 years old) and Jack (12 years old) are her kids with ex-partner Johnny Depp.

Most people might expect she would be sick and tired of flying across the Atlantic for hours, but in fact Vanessa enjoys putting her feet up and unplugging all of her mobile devices.

She told The Edit: 'It's OK! Jetlag has no effect on me anymore!'

'Twelve hours of no text, no emails, no nothing. You know, I have no place to complain. It's a great life. And when it's difficult, you try to make the best out of it.'

Vanessa admits a piece of her always stays home in Paris, while she enjoys visiting America's West Coast.

The City of Lights is where she feels most vivid.

'LA has really great opportunities for [my kids'] education. I prefer it there than here [in France]. But my heart belongs here. It's here that I feel at home', she explained.

'I like to see my friends. They're not friends from school days, but I've had them for 20 years. Real friendship doesn't go anywhere. We'll have a good meal, all very simple. And I love to walk in the streets of Paris'.

Vanessa confessed a year ago that she was contemplating what she would say to her children. If they would want to follow in their parents' footsteps.

While she wouldn't change her past, the singer said she's unsure if a singing career is the right path for her daughter Lily-Rose.

'I don't regret the way it happened for me at all. If I had to do it again, I would do it exactly the same way. But I'm in a different position as a parent. And I'd rather that she learn a job and have time to be a kid,' she said, while noting. 'Later on. I mean, she already has such a spotlight on her just because of her parents'.
