I know politics; I know the media.

I know politics; I know the media.

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

Being First Lady is playing supporting act. I am not seeking notoriety and I am not seeking to grab the limelight.

I will count to 10 before tweeting.

These days, everything is magnified very quickly by the media - the slightest slip can turn into a catastrophe.

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