Be happy, be proud, be generous, be respectful, be proud to be French citizens.

I'm ready to become a French person amongst French people, and more than ever I have the love for my country deeply ingrained in my heart.

We are a big country, with lots of advantages and history. We are proud to be French. We have to call on patriotism at this time... to ask for an effort in the battle against debt.

It's funny because I think that both France and Britain are known for their distinctive styles, and everyone says that France is so chic and elegant but I think, more than that, French women are renowned for dressing in what suits them.

You know how arrogant the French are - extraordinary.

France is my home; you are my family. I am carrying all of you in my heart.

There is a certain dignity to being French.

France has more need of me than I have need of France.

I'm quite into the French way - simple elegance with just a suggestion of sexiness, nothing vulgar.

I'm always fetishizing the French woman and French taste and style. My assistant will make fun of me because every time we're picking the direction of a collection, I say the same thing: 'I want it to be really French.'
