There's a big difference between France and the U.S. In the U.S., immigrants must work to live. In France, they're taken care of by public finances. In France, there are millions of unemployed people already. We cannot house them, give them health care, education... finance people who keep coming and coming.

I fear that the migratory crisis signals the beginning of the end of women's rights.

France always had this balanced position that in so many conflicts was the voice of peace. I intend to maintain that. De Gaulle was pleading for a multipolar world.

Multicultural societies are multi-conflict societies.

I always wanted to become president! When I was a kid, I was obsessed with politics.

Democracy isn't just for people in the Middle East, but Britons, too.

We did not go to war in Afghanistan or in Iraq to, quote, 'impose democracy.' We went to war in both places because we saw those regimes as a threat to the United States.

My interest in this Senate seat really had nothing to do with President Obama's success. I've been convinced that the right person can win, regardless.
