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

To me, the most poetic and intelligent way to bring up a subject is by showing very simply who you are and what you believe in.

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

I can no longer seduce because I love my husband. I don’t want to hurt him. I am no longer a man-eater.

I love English rock music the best and have always been fascinated by The Clash, especially Joe Strummer, their singer.

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.

I do think it's smart to see a marriage as "a garden and a gardener who constantly swap roles." You really have to switch from one to another. Being the gardener would be the more active role in the situation. Being a garden would be more passive. You've got to be both the one who gets help and the one that's helping. That's the circulation in a couple. You should switch from one position to another. I think it's good to be always aware that love can fade. There's something I really like about that sentence. It's as if love should be seen as work...because it is.
