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.

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

Taking care of your mental and physical health is just as important as any career move or responsibility.

Since the pleasure of most foods is in the first few bites, eat one thing on your plate at a time, at least at the start of the meal when you can concentrate and enjoy the full flavors.

French women love bread and would never consider a life without carbs.

I find it so unattractive when women wear sneakers with their business suits. I wear a nice pair of loafers or low-heeled pumps, and that's that.

You and I don't have the same genetics, we don't live in the same places, but we can have the same basic attitude - being comfortable in our skin.
