I never have been a fan of combat pants. Sure, sometimes someone catches my attention wearing them, but it is never the pants themselves that attract me.

They tell me that it all was too rapid. That’s not true between Nicolas and me. It didn’t happen rapidly. It was immediate… I know you don’t get married in an instant and that even more, we were in the spotlight. But lovers, you know, have their own sense of time… I wished to marry him right away. I felt that with him nothing bad could happen, Nicolas isn’t addicted to power and that’s what makes him courageous. I love being with him more than anything.
