The power that a president has in France is like the power of a king. In America, you know that his power is limited. Maybe because there used to be a king for centuries and now they're still behaving like they need a king.

I prefer periods of peace and love.

France is a very paternalistic society where people have to be introduced.

In France, like in most countries, the respect you receive depends on your class.

War, sometimes you have to go for it, you know?

I think that it's much brighter just to assume that you're an animal in the jungle and you have to survive.

I'm brighter when I'm not drunk; when I'm drunk, I lose part of my IQ.
