On the woman who inspired her fragrance:
"[She was] a real mother. Sweet, feminine, and inviting music. And he always used the perfume Fracas by Robert Piguet. It's a smell in my memory: I associate the childhood memory of the morning when I woke up early and went to slip into my parents' bed."
On seemingly not being afraid of anything:
"It is not true: there are things that are scary to me."
On what it is that scares her:
"Not knowing, not being in control of what's happening around me. I can not predict what will happen. And also the fact that the world is full of ignorance and full of prejudices: that scares me more than anything."
On how children have changed her:
"Over the years themselves, it's the children that made me become more patient and tolerant. I take everything less seriously than before. They make me more resilient, mentally."
