My first restoration was on 'Napoleon,' trying to put the French version in with the English version, and it was most unsatisfactory.

The French are true romantics. They feel the only difference between a man of forty and one of seventy is thirty years of experience.

Only peril can bring the French together. One can't impose unity out of the blue on a country that has 265 different kinds of cheese.

How far the existence of the Academy has influenced French literature, either for good or for evil, is an extremely dubious question.

I'm not an American actor. I'm a French actor. I'll continue in France. If I could make another silent movie in America, I'd like to!

I'm yet to attack French cooking, you know, where it's intense, following recipes and stuff. I'm more of a 'make it up' kind of thing.

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.

Accents are very sexy. American girls who speak French are very attractive to a Frenchman. Anything exotic or different is attractive.

When a French book becomes an international hit it is because of the author and not because of the language. The same goes for movies.

I prefer the finesse of French humour. English humour is more scathing, more cruel, as illustrated by Monty Python and Little Britain.

I feel like people are like, 'Ooh, French beauty, they don't do anything.' But I think it's more about looking as natural as possible.

The American high school graduate is two years behind his English, French or German counterpart; in Alabama, God knows how far behind.

I love to make pancakes and French toast - vegan, gluten free, sugar-free. And if it tastes good I'm the proudest person in the world.

I can't think of this country without Quebec. Je parle francais. And when I think about being a Canadian, speaking French is part of it.

The whole process of music for me is something absolutely honest and really naked and bare, so I never forced myself to write in French.

I'm not British. I'm not American. I'm not French. Whatever thing they practise, that is their business. I am an African. I am Rwandese.

Most British cheeses are now vegetarian and are labelled accordingly. However, French and Italian manufacturers still tend to use rennet.

It'd be cool to chipmunk-ize 'The Virgin Suicides' soundtrack. All this ethereal French music, I think that would be unique to listen to.

Through leadership of the fight against French colonialism, Ho Chi Minh had made a name for himself in the international political arena.

Italian is the language of song. German is good for philosophy and English for poetry. French is best at precision; it has a rigour to it.

I'm ready to become a French person amongst French people, and more than ever I have the love for my country deeply ingrained in my heart.

When I arrived at Columbia, I gave up acting and became interested in all things French. French poetry, French history, French literature.

I have made an art form of the interview. The French are the best interviewers, despite their addiction to the triad, like all Cartesians.

No one could touch the home cooking of an Italian woman. French women, they are very intelligent, very sexy - but they don't like to cook.

As British and French imperialism ebbed following the end of the Second World War, America became the main outside player in Arab affairs.

We grew up near a cinematheque in Cleveland, so we were very influenced by international cinema, the French New Wave, Italian neo-realists.

I have tried to lift France out of the mud. But she will return to her errors and vomitings. I cannot prevent the French from being French.

I feel totally French - I don't feel half-French because of my dual nationality. For me, dual nationality just means I don't deny my roots.

I am half Scottish. My father is an expat from Glasgow, and on my mother's side there's a bit of French, a bit of Scottish, a bit of Irish.

What you notice in French nurseries is just how calm they are. All of their classes are structured and led by teachers. It's a requirement.

I wish I had taken Spanish instead of French in high school. I could eavesdrop on a lot more conversations on the subway if I knew Spanish.

When I make an American movie it's going to come out all over the world-it doesn't happen the same way for an Italian film or a French film.

My parents were French and Irish and our family even has Spanish blood-and I do so love the United States and consider myself part American.

I like French films, Chabrol in particular. With him, you often get a skewed morality in which you sympathise with the person you shouldn't.

The stubby French painter Toulouse-Lautrec supposedly invented chocolate mousse - I find that rather hard to believe, but there you have it.

I mean, French pharmacies are, I love walking in and just, I buy a lot of random stuff. There's more pharmacies than bakeries, even in Paris.

Most of the Ten Commandments are negative. The purpose of law is not to mandate good behavior. That concept comes from the French Revolution.

I speak French, German, English, and Dutch, and I can say a few words in Spanish - none of these languages have anything to do with Valyrian.

We were married in the south of France because Gene loved France. If he could have been born French, he would have been - that was his dream.

I love French style from the Thirties and Forties. French movie stars like Jean Gabin and Yves Montand had so much natural, effortless style.

Situationism is a ludicrous proposition. It's ill-formed and it's perfectly French. That Gallic disposition towards common sense. L'Anarchie!

I'm not the healthiest eater, but I try to watch what I eat during the week. I kind of splurge on the weekends and eat french fries and pizza.

And we live in a French Quarter a lot of the time, in New Orleans. And the camaraderie of everybody there. Everybody takes care of each other.
