The surest route to breeding jealousy is to compare. Since jealousy comes from feeling less than another comparisons only fan the fires.

I like spending time at home. In Paris people drop by and have a bite to eat or they drop by and watch Friends on TV. I take my dog to the office there and I walk to work sometimes.

An artist has no home in Europe except in Paris.

There is just no comparison between having a dinner date with a man and staying home playing canasta with the girls.

Sending Paris Hilton to jail for being the most loathed celeprosy lesion in the history of the species seems like a happening idea at first - forty-five days at Century Regional Detention Center is so the new thirty days at Promises Malibu! But it sets a dangerous precedent to jail celebs just because someone hates them.

I had a go at changing history - maybe not all by myself - I fought at the battle of Normandy I slogged through the Ardennes and I celebrated the liberation of Paris on the streets with beautiful French girls throwing flowers at me. I said good-bye to my first true love and discovered what I really wanted to do with my life.

I wouldn't attach too much importance to these student riots. I remember when I was a student at the Sorbonne in Paris I used to go out and riot occasionally.

I don't like Paris so much and it's only eight shows. I mean don't tell them that of course. But everyone always thinks they're so important. And I'm sure they are. But to me my happiness is more important.

It is work work that one delights in that is the surest guarantor of happiness. But even here it is a work that has to be earned by labor in one's earlier years. One should labor so hard in youth that everything one does subsequently is easy by comparison.

Happiness in the present is only shattered by comparison with the past.
