“I must represent France, and I want to be elegant, and I want the Fren...” — Carla Bruni Quote

I must represent France, and I want to be elegant, and I want the French people to be proud of me, you know.

But I'm very careful with opinions because I never know what the truth is. When I read what the press says about me, I don't really believe what it says about other people.

My dream life is just to go back to my job full-time. And be with my family. You know, regular dreams, common dreams that everyone has.

I love English rock music the best and have always been fascinated by The Clash, especially Joe Strummer, their singer.

I'm not really a femme fatale.

The best riders in the world with the best horses make it look so elegant and graceful. When you watch it done well, it looks so easy that it's difficult for the public to understand how hard this really is.

The most beautiful products or the most elegant or seductive products, in my mind, are those that tell a story of a process.

For nighttime or for an event, I'm all about the nice heel. Something that's still walkable but definitely very elegant.

Comedy in the past hasn't spoken to women because it wasn't written by women, and male writers don't make women three-dimensional characters. Too often, women just facilitate the man's comedy: they're not crazy; they're not funny. But women are as vulgar as they are elegant, as stinky as they are smelling of eau de parfum.
