I know politics; I know the media.

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 am, and remain, passionate about news.

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

I know politics; I know the media.

I built my entire life on the idea of independence.
