From the first day I joined that family, nothing could be done naturally any more.

Being constantly in the public eye gives me a special responsibility, particularly that of using the impact of photographs to transmit a message, to sensitize the word to an important cause, to defend certain values.

I am not a political figure, nor do I want to be one; but I come with my heart.

A mother's arms are more comforting than anyone else's.

All people want to be touched.

As for becoming queen, it was never on the forefront of my mind when I married my husband. It was a long way off, that thought.

Everybody needs hugs.
