Women, you can have it all – a loving man, devoted husband, loving children, a fabulous career.

I always admire the French and the Italians who are very devoted to their marriages. They take them extremely seriously, but it is understood that there might be other visitors at 5 o’clock in the afternoon. You just never boast about.
