BRIGITTE MACRON

'Babylone, Babylone' is remarkable. Emmanuel is fascinated by Mexico. He knows the country without having been there... I am amazed by his intellectual capacities. He is extraordinary. I am talking about the man, not about my husband.

I'm still the wife of Emmanuel Macron, not of the president.

I'm lucky to have met Nicolas Ghesquiere, the creative director of Vuitton. He understands me and knows me, and I admire his sensibility and talent. Karl Lagerfeld is another huge designer and artist for whom I feel affection and admiration.

I think that the 21st century will be feminine, that it's women who will, perhaps, find a way out for this world.

I have never been attracted by younger men.

I'm a creature of the eighteenth century at heart: The Enlightenment and the search for happiness suit me.

It is very clear in my mind that the French people elected Emmanuel, and they haven't elected me, although they knew, of course, that we were a couple.

I wasn't a very well-behaved girl. I was often in detention for impertinence.

I wore miniskirts when I was younger. We used to hide them in our bags before going out.

I'm really into fashion, and there's this fascination the world over around this idea of the French woman.

I don't feel like a first lady.

There are times in your life where you need to make vital choices.

I have always put a lot of effort into the way I present myself; just ask my children or students!

I would never leave the house before choosing an outfit and doing my hair - the results may vary, but I cannot do otherwise.

I wore miniskirts when I was younger. We used to hide them in our bags before going out.

I wasn't a very well-behaved girl. I was often in detention for impertinence.

I have no idea what to wear; Nicolas Ghesquiere has made me a wardrobe for every circumstance.

I have the impression that every word is a word too many. I'm constantly holding myself back.

I have never been attracted by younger men.

I don't feel like the 'first,' or the last, or a lady. I am Brigitte Macron!

I have a boundless passion for Flaubert. It's unthinkable to me that someone might not have read 'Madame Bovary.' He writes with a scalpel. Everything has meaning. My students were not allowed not to like him!

I go out every day in Paris.
