We don't need to be feminist in my generation.

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

It's always astounded me to have succeeded at having kids. It's crazy!

Many young people are not having safe sex because they think medicines will make everything okay. The thing about these medicines is that you often have to take them your whole life. They can be very aggressive chemicals for your body. Just because you don't hear of as many people around you dying from HIV/AIDS - just like how it was in the '80s and '90s - you can still die. I'd say to someone who's very young to protect themselves and protect their lives. There's nothing safer than not catching this virus. It's having something that never goes out of your system.

I find that talking about myself is often the most boring thing in the world. Sixty per cent of interviews I find mechanical.

Public people are definitely captives. It wasn't really my ambition, but that's what happened. If I could find another word that would be more precise, I'd tell that I'm captive of my need for acknowledgement. People ask me, "Isn't it terrible to be famous?" Not for me! I sort of need it. To be honest, I always enjoyed it. It's as if it gave me some structure. It's as if I needed someone else's eyes to look at myself.

Marriage is another trap. If you are someone who likes independence, it's another stamp against that. And you have to swear to fidelity.
