In France, a first lady has no status, and therefore she isn't supposed to do anything else.

My perception of life is not to ask Francois Hollande, who isn't the father of my children, to support me financially.

I know politics; I know the media.

I will count to 10 before tweeting.

I am a committed observer. I like staying in the background and seeing what's going on.

I built my entire life on the idea of independence.
