The only successful revolution of this century is totalitarianism.

I would hope that Europe always has a privileged relationship with the United States. The alternatives are not attractive.

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

I really like the United State, its relationship to space and time, its interest in mobility, its cosmopolitanism.

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

The terrorists exist, and I think we must speak to them, not to establish a dialogue-since for serious terrorists that is unfortunately out of the question - but to learn how their brains work, to be better able to fight them.

Islamic terrorists are new examples of an old problem with fascism.
