Valerie Trierweiler

These days, everything is magnified very quickly by the media - the slightest slip can turn into a catastrophe.

Being First Lady is playing supporting act. I am not seeking notoriety and I am not seeking to grab the limelight.

I have never worn dresses by grands couturiers.

I know they call me a crazy lady, but I'm only interested in making movies and having people see them.

Who can sit back as our towns and cities are torn apart by violence and be content with the status quo?

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.
