Bernard Arnault

In the luxury business, you have to build on heritage.

I've always been pleased with the investments I've made with my friend Albert Frere and I regret not having followed him more, because I would have been a lot richer.

It's true that I am not from the south and I have a certain reserve. I take time to get close to, and I don't immediately throw my arms round someone. But it is more a question of style.

I was thinking of going to London drama schools or to New York, because France didn't accommodate the things I wanted to do in film.

Every Democrat on Capitol Hill professes to be a fiscal hawk.

I am happy to the spokeswoman for this French youth that tomorrow will be spearhead new hope in the shape of the National Front.
