Vanessa Paradis

Life is like the ocean, it goes up and down.

It's not my style to judge anybody.

The red carpet is not something I really know how to work. It intimidates me. I feel very tiny.

I just had an idea that went right over my head.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

Recently, I was in Bernalda, my dad's ancestral home town in Italy. He has just refurbished a palazzo and turned it into a hotel, so we had my sister's wedding there. It was beautiful.
