I realized that women are still not seen as equal to men. We had a big wave of feminism just before my generation was born. We're still sitting on this wave. There are very militant people and very aggressive women at the top of that wave but I think we have a new version of it now.
Carla BruniI love English rock music the best and have always been fascinated by The Clash, especially Joe Strummer, their singer.
Carla BruniI must represent France, and I want to be elegant, and I want the French people to be proud of me.
Carla BruniI only judge people in one way. I like them or I don't. But I don't have preconceived ideas.
Carla BruniNow I'm not going to go, "Oh my God, what are people saying about me?" I had a choice to be a student and not become a model, and becoming a doctor was another one of my dreams. I had a choice between not becoming a singer or becoming a songwriter and writing behind the scenes; nobody would have seen me writing songs for other people. I had the choice of not marrying my man; we could have just been hidden lovers, but I couldn't cope with it. I had these choices to do all these things, so I'm not going to cry over a life which has been really lucky.
