The French have the reputation of being arrogant. I don't think it's arrogance but a certain authenticity.

L.A.'s a better place to live than it is to visit.

I don't like fancy fiddly girlie stuff.

I think my kids are pretty well-rounded citizens of the world.

French are what they are without excusing themselves to be.

I need some challenges in love or I'm bored.

I'm pretty good at gardening. It consumes my time, and it feels like I'm doing something constructive.
