I am just as comfortable in Britain and France as I am in America... but nowhere is perfect.

I feel at home when I go to London.

We know that the French are very different from the Americans in their satisfaction with life. They're much less satisfied. Americans are pretty high up there, while the French are quite low - the world champions in life satisfaction are actually the Danes.

I feel as much British as I do American. There's not much difference between our countries.

I feel a little schizophrenic because my life is so totally different from here, obviously. And the French values are so different from American values.

I have American friends in France, and when I meet with them, they tell me about everything that is wrong with France. I think there is a general expat syndrome, which means that whatever country you are in, you are always missing your own country and always thinking that the country you live in is actually not as good as it could be.

I grew up in a Mauritian bubble in France... I had the feeling of not belonging, but still living with French culture.

I always knew I would live in France.
