If I read too much or know too much it's not because I want to talk about it, it's only because it's interesting for me.

Why should I stop working? If I do, I'll die and it'll all be finished.

I have moved to a smaller house in Paris, and I don't fancy having so much staff now.

I don't understand the change of hair...Frankly, the fringe was a bad idea. It's not good.

I like to reinvent myself — it’s part of my job.

I must say, some are not very beautifully made. They’re coffee-table books for people who drink alcohol. I have nothing against coffee-table books as long as they are well done. They must not look like gravestones on a table. Sometimes they are too big, they come in boxes and things like this. No, a book has to be easy to open and you don’t have to be a bodybuilder to lift it. I like books I can read in bed. Those big tombstones would kill me.

Foreigners don't want to invest any more in France - and this is not working.
