I put myself on the same level as everyone else around me - from the directrice to the workman, everyone. Except my pets - they are the Kings; you must treat them like royalty.

You know Sarkozy offered me the Legion d'honneur medal? I refused. People said I refused because I don't like Sarkozy, but that's ridiculous. I refused because I don't like decorations - except on women.

Women must know themselves better than anyone. If you have ugly legs, wear long dresses. If you have long, great legs, show them.

I work for women. I only think for them. If I didn't like women, I wouldn't do this job.

I like black, because for me it is a very happy color.

You have to take things with a lot of laughter. I laugh with everyone; this way, I will be able to die happy.
