In the U.S., too many yogurts are filled with corn syrup, preservatives, artificial this and that. To me, this is poison.

In #‎ France we have a saying, 'Joie de Vivre,' which actually doesn't exist in the English language. It means looking at your life as something that is to be taken with great pleasure and enjoy it.

Of course there are fat French women. There are fat people everywhere.

I can never leave a bookstore without buying a book. I read four or five at a time.

In America, you look at food as bad and guilty. In France, we love food and we enjoy food; food is pleasure.
