It's true that French are not very sophisticated in the sense that they don't dress up for dinners. They are not like Americans, where they are always perfect - the girls are not very sporty; they don't take care of themselves as much as Americans, who always have very white teeth and are so fit.

French is a language that makes those who speak it both calm and dynamic.

It was always said that the big distinction between the French and the English is that the English are intelligent and the French are intellectual.

I do consider myself as being French, I suppose.

The French are very individualistic.

You get the feeling that many of my guests feel that the French language gives them entry into a more cultivated, more intelligent world, more highly civilised too, with rules.

I unfortunately don't speak French, but my wife is now fluent in English, which really reflects rather badly on me.

English people don't have very good diction. In France you have to pronounce very particularly and clearly, and learning French at an early age helped me enormously.
