We must not lose time, neither for dealing in a suitable way with the question of the United Kingdom's exit, nor for providing a new impetus for the E.U.

The concept of the terrorists is to plunge our country into division.

We are absolutely clear: when these unaccompanied minors have a family link in the United Kingdom, then they must go to the United Kingdom. And they must go quickly and in an efficient fashion.

Being in the European Union has its advantages, and I think that is what the British are beginning to understand, what those who are tempted by the Brexit are going to reflect upon.

Faced with terror, France must be strong, it must be great, and the state authorities must be firm.

What the terrorists want is to scare us and fill us with dread.

My policies are producing results and will produce even more.

Things are going better: there is more growth, less deficit, more competitiveness, better margins for companies, more purchasing power for workers.

Our biggest threat is not too much Europe, but too little.

Our common responsibility is to put Europe's interests first.

Whoever pays should control; whoever pays should sanction. I agree. But budgetary union should be completed by a partial mutualisation of debts through eurobonds.

The best thing the Democrats can do is to get Hillary Clinton elected.

Whatever happened during the French presidential campaign will leave no hard feelings. I perfectly understand why Angela Merkel supported Nicolas Sarkozy because of the action they have taken together, even though I have questioned its results, and because of their shared political sensibility.

As much as I believe in the Franco-German partnership, I question the idea of a duopoly. European construction is based on a well-balanced and respectful partnership between France and Germany.

We need intelligence services to fight against terrorism, but they have to respect the principles of good relationships between allies and protect personal, confidential data.

The first time that I went to the United States was in 1974. I was 20 years old. America was in crisis.

In August 2012, the international community should have been far more determined in dealing with the Bashar Assad regime.

I must demonstrate I'm closer to people - a simpler, calmer presence, yet someone who can also make decisions and obtain promised results.

People are tired of constant movement, improvisation, and wild scrambling when plans fail.

People need to see signs of equal treatment across society.

Private life is always, at certain times, a challenge.

In my own situation, I cannot show anything... And I believe that everybody now understands that, president or not president, one is entitled to have a private life. But of course when one is president, this creates duties and obligations.

It's very refreshing to go away and take a break, to clear your head, and just get into something else.

Makeup is about balance. When the eye makes a statement, the lips should be quiet.

Find your own way, have an open spirit, and believe in your own beauty.

A fresh face with a red lip is timeless. It's supermodern and relaxed but very chic.

True icons are larger than life, unforgettable with an elegance that's mesmerizingly timeless.

You create the color first, and then the name that fits. It depends - there are no rules. You watch a fabulous old movie, and you suddenly get inspired by it to create a lipstick shade, or you walk through a gorgeous garden and find the most beautiful flower shade for an eye shadow, and then you name it.

I like beauty to be a bit edgy, not typical. For me, the only rule is looking good.

There is a tendency to feature more actresses on covers, but I'm a big model lover. I grew up watching these models, and they gave me the wish, the need, to work in the fashion industry. I loved watching them - their beauty, the way they worked in front of the camera and that power of transformation, especially in the Seventies.

I thought make-up was a very sensual thing.

My goal was always to make the girl look real and look beautiful. It didn't matter how much makeup. Sometimes it was none at all.

You can look glamorous even if you're a housewife, any job you have.

In America, when I first came here, they were used to wearing more make-up - thicker foundation, more Max Factor, that sort of thing. But you have to know who you are and what you look like: if you know yourself a little bit, you don't need to follow trends.

I think if you take good care of your skin, you can achieve better make-up.

Wearing colourful eyeliner in a graphic shape is the epitome of make-up as an accessory.

You are born with this love; fashion and beauty are a part of who I am.

Was I a businessman to start with? I'm not sure. I mean, that comes slowly, when you start having the products out. But at the same time, I was very determined. I knew that I had to make it work. I had no choice.

My mother never wore much make-up, and she was a kind of natural beauty; she knew just how to enhance what she had.

I think everyone deserves to look better and to look good.

A woman who hides behind a mask of makeup is still going to have to take it off at some point... and deal with reality.

From the start, I used a different kind of girl in Nars campaign images. My choice to use models of colour such as Alek Wek, Naomi Campbell and Karen Park Goude was absolutely a deliberate one. I felt that makeup was universal and should apply to everybody.

My mother hated foundation; she hated having a mask on her face - and she pushed me to build my own vision and concept of beauty for women.

Sometimes people are very not sure of themselves, so you really have to give them that confidence. Even models - they need to warm up sometimes on photo shoots.

I love the architecture magazines and all of the French magazines for decoration or whatever. I end up enjoying them more sometimes than the fashion magazines.

Makeup is an accessory to fashion. You buy a bag, you buy shoes, you put on eyeliner, you buy a lipstick, makeup compliments the clothes.

I remember this time I worked with Linda Evangelista on a shoot for Richard Avedon. I just put grease on her face, and it was beautiful.

I love strong looks, so to me, no makeup is strong. As long as it makes a statement, that's what I like. The girls look very real, and I'm probably the only makeup artist who will say that I love a woman without makeup.

I was a very lucky child because at the age of 16, 17 years old, my parents would buy me clothes from Yves Saint Laurent, which was an incredible luxury at the time, but I was attracted to that whole world. I had a pretty nice little wardrobe by the age of 17.

I had no connections, and the fashion world was a closed elite. So my mother made appointments for herself with three top Parisian makeup artists and spoke highly about me... she was my first publicist!
