People can have political opinions and put them into songs. I'd never deliberately do that, but that's a personal choice I'm inspired by my man but not by his previous position. I'm more inspired by people that are left out by society.

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

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

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

Let's face it, fashion was destroyed by HIV. People would just die like flies in the eighties. Then, my brother died of HIV, so I was shaken by it in a way that you cannot imagine. It has sadly been in my life ever since and affected it for such a long time. It won't let go. To me, it's a fight that's not finished. Of course, there are medicines that help, but half the world has no access to them.

My dream life is just to go back to my job full-time. And be with my family. You know, regular dreams, common dreams that everyone has.
