I have made an art form of the interview. The French are the best interviewers, despite their addiction to the triad, like all Cartesians.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Interviewing politicians and movie stars, you know what you'll get. I like the people-stories better.
I am not a great French woman. George Sand, Marguerite Duras and Simone de Beauvoir are great French women.
I'm always trying to get those interviews that are impossible to get, because they are the ones that are most interesting to the audience.
I've always got on very well with the French, perhaps because I'm very natural.
Interviewing people is pretty natural for me.
One of the greatest joys in my life was giving a lecture in French at the College de France.
I like doing the readings and the autographing, but the interviewing gets a little tedious because you get asked the same questions every day and sometimes three or four times a day.
I have a hard time with interviews, because I'd rather hear about the interviewer.
The French are very individualistic.
I have had some problems because the French don't like people to have success, they don't like the number one.
