“I'm not really a femme fatale.” — Carla Bruni Quote

I'm not really a femme fatale.

I hoped that, you know, France wouldn't mind about, you know, the wife of their president to having a job.

Marriage is another trap. If you are someone who likes independence, it's another stamp against that. And you have to swear to fidelity.

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.

It's interesting to see the more femme that you present yourself, the more people sort of dehumanize you.

Perfume is like a personal signature, which is why I like to mix my own. For years I've paired Femme by Rochas with Shalimar and love the results.

I really like action-dramas like 'The Professional' or 'La Femme Nikita.' I'd really like to be in a movie like that.

If you're a femme woman in a hardware store and someone won't let you pick up a hammer, the work of gendering is being done to you.

There's something very, very liberating about Harley Quinn. Much more so than a character like Catwoman or Poison Ivy. Those are great characters. But then again, those characters are more of the femme fatale and the temptress roles.
