I'm not really a femme fatale.

I hoped that, you know, France wouldn't mind about, you know, the wife of their president to having a job.

I thought marriage was something very quiet and very regular and very bourgeois.

I only judge people in one way. I like them or I don't. But I don't have preconceived ideas.

My mother was a classical pianist and my stepfather was an industrialist who was passionate about composing contemporary music.

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.

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.
