People are unhappy when they are on diets, because it's 'don't do this, don't do that, do this, do that.'

Of course there are fat French women. There are fat people everywhere.

With technology, there is so much isolation with people now, that there are very few places where you can connect.

Quality of life is very important in France. I have many friends who turned down promotions and more money because it would affect their quality of life as a couple or a mother.

The word that I constantly hear out of women is 'fear.' It's almost like a background melody. Women have excellent degrees and experience, but we are afraid we aren't good enough because we have such high expectations.

French women don't have too many clothes - a few good pieces that last for a while and are classic and timeless.
