France is delighted at this new opportunity to show the world that when one has the will one can succeed in joining peoples who have been brought close by history.

Symbologists often remarked that France-a country renowned for machismo, womanizing, and diminutive insecure leaders like Napoleon and Pepin the Short-could not have chosen a more apt national emblem than a thousand-foot phallus.
Dan Brown
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.
Charles de Gaulle
Constantly, and it starts to annoy me. In France almost everybody recognises me wherever I go. In Italy too it`s impossible for me to walk somewhere without being recognised. - On being recognised.
Rocco Siffredi
I don`t believe in nudity for nudity`s sake, but it`s really beautiful when it`s done well, when it`s within a story. I`m very comfortable with my body. I grew up mostly in France, where nudity is not taboo. It`s not this hypocritical thing where we go, N...
Leonor Varela
My father came from Hungary after the tragedy of Yalta, and my mother`s father was a Jew from Salonika . . . we loved France. We didn`t take it for granted.
Nicolas Sarkozy
[On criticism of The Devils (1971)] It was very disturbing to make. I still haven`t got over it... Where do you draw the line? This is the way it happened - those nuns were used for political ends, toted round France as a side show for a year. Do you igno...
Oliver Reed
The funny thing is I`m actually a Polish Jew who happens to be born in France. My mom is Polish and my dad is Bulgarian. I don`t have an ounce of French blood. But I work it.
Michael Vartan
I love our house in the country. I can walk to the nearby village and have a coffee and no one pays any notice. I`m just another dad with my daughter on my knee. The time I`ve spent in France with Vanessa has solidified my belief that I can keep a major d...
Johnny Depp
Leaving [home] is kind of a strange thing - the world opens up, but at the same time, it gets smaller. The more you see of the world, the smaller it seems. After I did the film "Stalingard," I left Germany, and I did a couple of films in France and lived ...
Thomas Kretschmann
Prostitutes in Lyons, France, sent a fax to the government to complain that they are losing business to Eastern European women who are protected by the Albanian mafia. Okay, first of all, how rough-looking are these French prostitutes that all their custo...
Tina Fey
I think this is something that touches every country - America, Italy, France, England, all over. You will see all these people, they don`t know how to sing, they don`t know how to dance, and still they become famous. You know, just celebrities. And I thi...
Monica Bellucci
It`s the saddest night of my life. I`m just twenty six. Where do I go from here? [Swanson to her mother following her triumphant return to Hollywood in 1925 after making Madame Sans Gene in France.]
Gloria Swanson
Hollywood is a wonderful machine for making big movies. In France, we make smaller and more personal films, but if things keep changing this will disappear. The industry in Italy is practically gone. Cinecitta now is used mostly by filmmakers from others ...
Ludivine Sagnier
In France, they`re having trouble translating a lot of Internet terms into French. In France the law is you have to use French words. For example, there are no French words for surfing the Web, there aren`t any French words for chat session, and there are...

I Was there in the South of France When Zelda [Fitzgerald], poor darling, went off her head. She had gone into a flower shop and suddenly for her all the flowers had faces. Of course, some flowers, such as pansies, *do* have faces.
Tallulah Bankhead
After spending two months in France where the air is great, I genuinely noticed how ill I felt returning to Los Angeles. The way we`re going, if they keep building and building, there will be no space any more.
Tracey Ullman
The concept of sex symbol in France is different. They don`t like the `sex symbol` in France. I don`t consider myself a sex symbol because all my cousins would laugh at me. "Ah, look at the sex symbol! He`s coming today!" So, no, I can`t be a sex symbol.
Olivier Martinez

Olivier Martinez
The French have their double standards. For example, I don`t think anyone in France could make a movie like Larry Clark`s Bully, because he combines sex and violence and humor. And, recently, there was this photo of Christina Aguilera on the magazine cove...
Ludivine Sagnier
[On the situation in the Banlieues of France] It`s a vicious circle. Cops hate kids because kids hate cops and so on, and it will never end.
Mathieu Kassovitz
My old man started to watch 24 in France when he was on location - it didn`t have any commercials over there. Then he came to the States and he hated the commercials. Then he went back to France and he missed the commercials, because it gave him time to b...

The other day I was walking down the street in the rural town where we live (in France) and a truck hit me, rather hard, going fairly fast. And he starts to drive off, so I chase after him, reach in the window and grab his steering wheel. And I say, `Norm...
