apply best wear
I never like to wear too much makeup, and sometimes the best makeup is when it's not too perfect. I like to sometimes apply my makeup with my fingers.

Here in France, I've seen some very good young designers, but they don't have this ability to be good businessmen, too. I think America gives you this.

To be a good model, you have to be very smart.
bad good
I'm a very spontaneous person, for the bad and the good.

I think it's less common in France that a man at the age of 50 buys a Porsche and gets a young girlfriend.

I think it is good when something can stay interesting for a long time. It's not just a trend for one month.
