I just want to say, I'm not interest in politics. Politics is my husband, and since he's not interested in politics anymore, then I'm not interested in politics. I wish good luck to Mr and Mrs Trump, I wish good luck to Mr and Mrs Macron, and I don't care, do you understand?
I am cursed with computers; something always goes wrong.
Love lasts a long time but burning desire lasts two to three weeks.
I never think about what people are going think about me.
To me, the most poetic and intelligent way to bring up a subject is by showing very simply who you are and what you believe in.
I must represent France, and I want to be elegant, and I want the French people to be proud of me.
I like peace and solitude and silence.
I do think it's smart to see a marriage as "a garden and a gardener who constantly swap roles." You really have to switch from one to another. Being the gardener would be the more active role in the situation. Being a garden would be more passive. You've got to be both the one who gets help and the one that's helping. That's the circulation in a couple. You should switch from one position to another. I think it's good to be always aware that love can fade. There's something I really like about that sentence. It's as if love should be seen as work...because it is.
I'm not at all an active feminist. On the contrary, I'm a bourgeois. I love family life, I love doing the same thing every day.
Everyone needs acknowledgement. When we're kids, we need it from our parents. If you don't get love from your family, you're destroyed inside.
When I was having my hair and make-up done backstage at a fashion show, I would sneak in a copy of Dostoevsky and read it inside a copy of Elle or Vogue. But it would be pretentious of me to say I was more intelligent than the other supermodels.
I think it would be shocking for me to pretend not to have any past. And also, it would be a lie.
I'm monogamous from time to time, but I prefer polygamy and polyandry.
Feminism is just like HIV awareness: It's not something we don't need anymore, it's something that is just as important as it was a few decades ago. It is a very important fight.
I only judge people in one way. I like them or I don't. But I don't have preconceived ideas.
But I'm very careful with opinions because I never know what the truth is. When I read what the press says about me, I don't really believe what it says about other people.
I think the important thing being a wife of a president is to know who you are and find a cause that corresponds to you. The truth is, it's hard to keep a job in that position. I kept playing music because no one could stop me from playing music at night.
It would never occur to me to judge anyone.
Now I'm not going to go, "Oh my God, what are people saying about me?" I had a choice to be a student and not become a model, and becoming a doctor was another one of my dreams. I had a choice between not becoming a singer or becoming a songwriter and writing behind the scenes; nobody would have seen me writing songs for other people. I had the choice of not marrying my man; we could have just been hidden lovers, but I couldn't cope with it. I had these choices to do all these things, so I'm not going to cry over a life which has been really lucky.
I care about writing music and playing my music.
I want a man with nuclear power.
It's always astounded me to have succeeded at having kids. It's crazy!
I can no longer seduce because I love my husband. I don’t want to hurt him. I am no longer a man-eater.
I'm not really a femme fatale.
In reality, I don't see myself as a man hunter. In fact, when it comes to love, I am rarely the one to make the first move.
