All my life I have loved and been inspired by French cinema and as a studio head it has been my pride and joy to have the ability to bring movies to audiences around the world.

Now if you are like me - if you are like practically anybody in America - then you probably hold some negative opinions about the French based upon movies rumors recent headlines unfortunate run-ins with Parisian waiters or... you know... all that unpleasantness surrounding the Vichy regime.

The United States dollar took another pounding on German French and British exchanges this morning hitting the lowest point ever known in West Germany.

It's disrespectful to tell the French in the morning that you're going to reduce the debt in the evening that you're not going to make any savings and the next morning after thinking about it that you're going to spend more.

I pity the French Cinema because it has no money. I pity the American Cinema because it has no ideas.

I want to go to college to study journalism. I want to speak French fluently to travel. My mom was a journalist and it's in my blood.

Culture and tradition have to change little by little. So 'new' means a little twist a marriage of Japanese technique with French ingredients. My technique. Indian food Korean food I put Italian mozzarella cheese with sashimi. I don't think 'new new new.' I'm not a genius. A little twist.

French novels generally treat of the relations of women to the world and to lovers after marriage consequently there is a great deal in French novels about adultery about improper relations between the sexes about many things which the English public would not allow.

For me French is so rich and so sacred that learning it is like learning a foreign language.

In addition to the research I enjoyed learning French and assimilating the culture of another country.
