I am not a great French woman. George Sand, Marguerite Duras and Simone de Beauvoir are great French women.
Of course there are fat French women. There are fat people everywhere.
When I was 20, I went to Paris and tried to meet French women. It didn't work.
I don't think it's by accident that I was first attracted to translating two French women poets.
I was ecstatic they re-named 'French Fries' as 'Freedom Fries'. Grown men and women in positions of power in the U.S. government showing themselves as idiots.
French women love to shop and prepare food. They love to talk about what they have bought and made. It's a deeply natural love, but one that is erased in many other cultures. Most French women learn it from their mothers, some from their fathers. But...
Men may be the head of the house, but the women are the neck, and they can turn the head any way they want.

French women have been made beautiful by the French people - they're very aware of their bodies, the way they move and speak, they're very confident of their sexuality. French society's made them like that.
I would advocate that chocolate be covered by health insurance, but that is admittedly a very French public policy perspective.
I'm 50% Asian actually, so yes I was born in Paris but I feel more international than French so I can't talk about French women.
It's not equality that counts, it's reprocity that counts. Love is not like a balance sheet. There's no such thing as double-entry accounting when it comes to love.
Fate. Now that's a loaded word. Like "yoga" or "karma", it's one of those words that slipped out of its native culture and ended up a celebrity with an extreme makeover.
The great thing about American women is their energy and the way they love to dress. French women don't really dress; they are too conservative, as it's always a question of money. In America, women are powerful and strong, determined. If they want t...
There are some men who are consoled by the idea that there are women less attractive than their wives; and others who are haunted by the knowledge that there are more attractive.
What I like about the American woman is she usually has a lot of dynamism. In the U.S., women have a tendency to go forward, to be more exaggerated than in Europe. Many times the rough ideas come from the States, then they are refined in Europe. The ...
French novels generally treat of the relations of women to the world and to lovers, after marriage; consequently there is a great deal in French novels about adultery, about improper relations between the sexes, about many things which the English pu...
Give us being and feeling over having any day.
As the French say, there are three sexes - men, women, and clergymen.
You need mystery. You actually do. I think that's what foreign women, French women in particular, are good at. There's still a sense that you need to keep some of the unknown because that's where the soul resides, or something.
French cinema allows women to look... a certain way and be talented at the same time.
