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.

Everyone needs acknowledgement. When we're kids, we need it from our parents. If you don't get love from your family, you're destroyed inside.

I'm crazy about Israel. It's full of life.

I like peace and solitude and silence.

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

I'm monogamous from time to time, but I prefer polygamy and polyandry.

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