God is dead but my hair is perfect.

I reject the idea that there is some sort of existential "clash of civilizations." I am an interventionist, but not a militarist. War should always be a last resort.

For me, dressing is always a question of principle, respect, a sense of order, not to disguise myself, even in rotten places.

Europe has certainly lost confidence in itself. This was something that, when I was a young man, we never imagined would happen.

The Left is my family. And it is threatened by terrible demons, like differentialism. "differentialist Left" are people who have learned nothing about tolerance. Or justice. People who, hiding behind a backward sense of tolerance and justice, explain to us that we must accept all the actions of all civilizations, including the stoning of adulterous wives or the mutilation of little girls.

I definitely don't agree with that sort of rhetoric from the United States - this idea that all the major conflicts of our age need to be solved militarily.

The euro is a great achievement. It's a symbolic achievement. But, the European constitution was a missed opportunity.
