To grieve is something extremely difficult, we don't even know how to begin to grieve, and I don't know how you can be taught to grieve.

French women have been made beautiful by the French people - they're very aware of their bodies, the way they move and speak, they're very confident of their sexuality. French society's made them like that

I am fascinated by the whole process of what it's like to be alive, whether it's unbelievably uncomfortable and horrible or whether it's quite nice

By trying to control everything we become very neurotic, more and more desperate. It's a huge tragic thing.

There's always a time for change, and you should never be frightened of it.
